Did you ever think about how light affects our lives? We
have a rainbow room. The sun shines in through the windows in the afternoon.
There are a number of crystals in the windows that cast rainbows on all of the
walls and pictures in the room. The rainbows on the paintings give Candi ideas
on how to use light in her paintings. Many of the Impressionists were
interested in light and how it could change their paintings (e.g., Monet).
How does light look when filtered through the leaves of the
tree? Or through the early morning fog? Or in the harsh unfiltered summer light
on the road? Or on the grasses waving in the winter snowscape? How does light
make you feel? Does it make you feel lighter or heavier? Happier or melancholy?
How do you react to light on wildflowers along the road? How do you respond to
the early morning light coming through the bedroom curtains? Do you let light
into your soul? Do you feel the power of the universe coming into you through
the light in your life?
