Dappled Shadow at Ferney, Mauritius
Looking back at a slightly older oil painting from Ferney Falaise Rouge, looking over Grand Port Bay.
Dappled light is slippery to catch—it shifts every few minutes. Oils allowed me to build the weight of the dark, interlaced canopy first, and then lay down those vivid hits of sunlit ground right against the shadows.
Looking at older pieces like this alongside my recent watercolours is a gentle reminder of how our process quietly evolves over time.
