I always enjoyed that song Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. But maybe they had some parts wrong in their song.
As an artist I would like to argue that light is understandably all God and that there is no darkness in it. So while viewing my garden as light danced throughout and colors glowed even in the dark shadows because they were not totally void of light in this painting. I had to think that this painting with its vertical pillars looked like a gateway, yes we all like those syfy movies with their gateways or portholes to other times or places, to Heaven. Even in the Bible there where a few transports. Peter finding himself in another place. Elisha and even Jesus himself transported to Heaven. Yes we call it ascended ( to move or go upward).
Anyways, the light is so magnificent against the darkness. Lights allure seems to go on forever and all colors, even though we see only a portion of the entire color spectrum bring joy to our eyes and even spirit. Sunlight is so fiery, my eye fights to take in all the details and colors, so I try to capture a glimpse, even an abstract impression in my garden. I would like it if you can feel the heat, the warmth of the sunlight, as if you where there with me where I was painting.
