Description
With me, as with most photographers, it's all about catching the light. I've had a bit of a struggle with light this autumn ... some days it's fickle and teases me moment to moment. Some days it promises to shine brilliantly ... just around the corner ... but never quite does. Some days it's glorious, but I don't have my camera or I don't have the time to stop and try to catch it.
Frustrating, yes, but it makes the times when I have a bit of success all the sweeter.
Out on another jaunt early one morning in October, on the hunt for Mother Nature's brilliant golds and scarlets, I turn a corner and find that the morning light is turning a corner as well. It pours into the backyard of the Beallair Mansion, in Charles Town West Virginia, as if Mother Nature were pouring the milk into her morning breakfast cereal. It seeps into the crevices as if our whole world were nothing more than a bowl of Wheaties. If I could experience life in a time-lapse, I'm sure I'd love watching the sun filling all the architectural corners, all the blades of grass and all the leaves on the trees with lilfe-giving light. Of course I can't do that, but I thought this image pretty much caught the spirit of the idea. A moment in time when I think I caught the light just as it was beginning to tickle the remaining leaves on an old dogwood tree ... as the season turned a corner.
Image painted by hand, digitally, and loosely based on one of my own photos using Corel Painter, a Wacom tablet, the art pen stylus and a wide variety of beautiful digital brushes.
Fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... it will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."
