Do you recall when I blogged about my visit to the light show at Descanso Gardens in California back in January 2023?  I’ve never stopped thinking about the rainbow shadows that the misty night created.

I’ve been working on some pieces that attempt to capture some of the feelings of those rainbow shadows. (I have photos if I want to share the reality of it!)  This piece is called “Night-Time Shadows”:

It’s a 16×20 Monotype Collage.  You can see another piece from this series being worked on in this short video from instagram:

I am going to be hosting an in-person monotype collage class in my home studio outside of Boston in 2025. Be sure to sign up for the weekly email newsletter so that you’re the first to know when registration opens.

Here are a few detail photos of “Night-Time Shadows”:

I used a gold paint as an underlayer and as a result, the piece has a glow about it when viewed in person — without being shiny in any way.

  • I love your interpretation. And love the photo so much I think that I’d like to try my own interpretation of it…
