"Just as a melody can shift in key when transposed for a different instrument, a pattern of colors is transposed as it moves from sunlight into shadow."
I LOVE THE WAY that Maine artist Neil Welliver uses light and shadow so brilliantly and vividly in his paintings. His use of shadows especially true in Shadow, one of his paintings, is entirely palpable and realistic. The snowy image takes me back through long hikes in the woods by my house close to the lake and captures the feelings of bitter cold when the sun hides briefly behind the clouds.
