Striped Sofa Light
watercolor
Size of Piece: 14.75 x 18.25
Greenstein finds herself captivated by how light shapes the way we see: it defines form, sets mood, and determines what is visible or hidden. Just as compelling are the shadows it leaves behind: shifting, collapsing, and reconfiguring the familiar into the unexpected. Light and shadow are the protagonists. Sharp lines may define a shadow, while a cast light may have a soft, caressing edge. Spaces within the painting become abstract, flattening into what is light and what is not.
In this piece, “Striped Sofa Light”, I was struck by the way the light interacted with the sofa, creating all sorts of stripes. Seeing this light, in this specific pattern, only seems to happen in early morning winter light. This made the opportunity to paint it even more fleeting and special.
