Nothing here has been enhanced. Everything you see is derived from the object — the record below says exactly how each view was made.
Set your screen once. Hold a bank card against the screen and slide until the orange outline matches its width.
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
One large tree stands right of centre, its canopy a mass of teal and prussian strokes, over a meadow of yellow-green worked in broad knife passes. Ochre light gathers at the horizon and blue-violet shadow runs across the grass toward the viewer. This is the warmest and most open painting of Smith's Sanctuary group — no framing device, no dark corners, the eye let straight in. The title is plain and the painting earns it: there is a place to sit in this picture, which is not true of the forest interiors beside it.
