Painting the Shadows


I discovered this artist just last month. 
I was told by the locals that she always comes to
this same spot and always at the same time.

She seemed to have incredible focus.  No matter
how many tourists stopped to admire her work
and no matter how often the birds landed and squawked
about, she remained unaffected.

  
Her brushes and paints were not of the highest
quality.  I'm sure it was what she could afford.
And it was never about flash.  Colors were
secondary to her.

To her, shadows were key.


A fine example would be this one she calls;

Hand Shadow.

She's made it look as if the sun itself was
shining brightly behind her.


Truly Gifted.
