Backlit Firs by Teresa Smith
Set your screen once. Hold a bank card against the screen and slide until the orange outline matches its width.

This is the photograph at true size, for placing it in your room with your phone. Its sides and back will appear here after the studio capture — we will not invent them.

The surface under moving light

This view is built only from real photographs of the work, each lit from a different angle, so you can move the light yourself and watch the real surface answer. It is being captured in the studio and will appear here. Until then we show nothing rather than an imitation.

“I paint an island as sanctuary.”— Teresa Smith

A small painting worked as densely as her large ones. One sienna trunk holds the centre, its bark mottled in ochre and umber, with thinner trunks stacked behind it; the foliage is teal and olive in short curved passes. Behind all of it the light is warm — gold shading to lavender — so every tree is read as a silhouette with colour still in it. The floor is blue-violet. At sixteen inches the paint is as thick as on a canvas four times the size, which is either stubbornness or generosity.
