Today's Sun Day Art blog post is in honor of my father and mother-in-law who are preparing to sell their beautiful home in San Miguel De Allende, Mexico.
I love finding spots where the sun is
slipping around a corner. It makes me want to soak in the moment
because I know I can't hold on to it. This sunlit corner caught my eye
when we were visiting my father and mother-in-law. The warm tile, clay pots, and
stucco walls filled the corner with glowing reflected light, as well as
the direct sunlight filtered through the flowers. Ten minutes later,
the allure of this corner had slipped away until another day...
I chose to crop the photo so that the focus was on the fleeting sunlight.
Starting with a little 6x6 study, one of the (very) subtle things that I enjoyed about this composition was the way the white plastic chair serves to soften and add interest to the bottom left corner.
And here's a larger 20x20 version. Love that sunlight!
Me and my dad :)
