I’m starting a small mini-series of posts about dappled light as a way of helping me get my head around why I like it so much and how I might replicate it in pigment better.

Turns out many of my more favored photos have some degree of dappled light to them. Not all of my favs of course, but many.

What I’ll concentrate on these posts though (2 or more posts, unsure how many yet), is photos I’m capturing, or more accurately, in the process of trying to capture those often unpredictable and uncertain instances while I’m out on the greenbelt near where we live.

Below is one I found interesting yesterday while at the greenbelt. Because there was actually clouds, and breezy, vs nothing but stillness & blue, I was able to go out mid to late morning, vs early as I could go there. The slants of light were more pronounced, yet still not stark or glaring.

Granted, the angle and distance of the object casting the shadows (dappled light) is a major factor, but I’ve seen times of the day when the dark-contrast if much more stark. But I’m still very much just bothering to learn about dappled light, other than it’s pretty, lol! 😊

Notice the image above has is a screen shot from my photo roll on my phone and I’ve included the time stamp —

Reason for that is tomorrow I hope to show a 3 pic sequence, within the same minute (there’s 60 seconds for “things” to happen w/in that minute!) of how very very quickly the whole image’s impact can change.

I was gonna try and post that today, but realized, after going to the Y w/Sheila, going for a walk along Lady Bird Lake after, going shopping at Randalls for “lots” of goodies – nutritious & 😋, and the 8 year old is scheduled to arrive shortly, I better break this post up, for my own good! 😌

So enjoy the light in your life, and tomorrow I hope to show you some interesting contrasts when the light does change!

Stay healthy everyone! ❤️

ps – re my selfie at top of post, I’m not wearing a long coat or such, lol! Too hot! Just shorts elongated by the angle of the light on the water 😊

  Prints have consistently out-sold my originals if for no other reasons than they are less expensive and usually have more items to choose from. Not bad reasons at all 😊 What I want to do now though is, begin to –
• May 17, 2022 – I Have a Lot of Happenings ( art & personal ) This Week, But Still Finding Moments To Start a New Painting : Morning’s PromiseMay 17, 2022
  It’s nice to dance the surface of my canvas as needed. And able ☺️ And right now, a light step, at an easy pace, may give me the time – and energy – to get more than a handful of other needed things also done this week. Not a bad compromise. For now 😊
• May 16, 2022 – New Diptych : “Freedom” Almost Finished, Panels Need Signing ( front & back )May 16, 2022
  And what I’ve come across figuring out how to make prints of this that folks can work with, ie, close to or within standard size dimensions, was how to get a 22×28 image convert into – in 2 examples – an 8×10 or 12×18, and I came up with this as a starting prototype….
• May 15, 2022 – My Most Viewed Image this Past Week @FineArtAmerica, “Spring Rising”May 15, 2022
  I’d done a lot of deep or darker night-like paintings for a bit, so it felt pretty nice to lighten up my palette for awhile. Working back & forth, from the two approaches – playing the potential good from both approaches seems to suit my Libra middle, lol!
• May 14, 2022 – My 1st Classical Stretch Workout with Miranda Esmonde-White ( via YouTube ) in Many Months!May 14, 2022
  Though similar to SilverSneakers’ classes, Miranda’s classes focus largely on making the fascia network in our bodies more fluid. Some movements are very similar, but more extended, dance-like, reflecting Miranda’s ballerina and dance background!
• May 13, 2022 – “Angel” in AVAA’s 1st Austin Art Space Gallery and Studio Group Show in a Long Time!May 13, 2022
  Just a very quick post to announce that my 18×24 inch acrylic on stretched canvas, Angel – has been accepted into Austin Visual Arts Association’s ( AVAA) 1st group show since ( I believe ) the pandemic. Definitely been a long time coming and feels great to be able to be showing with this long time Austin art association again! 😊
• May 12, 2022 – Updated My #Twitter Header Image and Pinned TweetMay 12, 2022
  Though Twitter’s future is up in the air, or ether, or virtual landscape; and my own “footprint” there and social media in general is micro-whatever, lol! — it’s still my micro existence, and I want to care for it best I can 😊
