BARBARA SUMMERS EDWARDS SHADES OF LIGHT

As an artist I am intrigued by the qualities and shades of light figuratively and spiritually. I find working with a light source fascinating and challenging. This painting plays on that fascination with light but also as there must be opposition in all things, I used a warm blue-gray underpainting to counter the light.
