Every morning lately, somewhere between 9:00 and 10:00am, my eyes are drawn away from the laptop screen and through the windows outside.  You see, at this time of day, the morning light becomes its most intense and everything outside seems lit from within!  I am powerless to resist.  The paintings in the Flux series by Los Angeles artist Kate Davis Caldwell  seem to capture that intensity of light, in which everything glows warmer.

 

That concentration of light creates these beautiful pockets of brightness and deep, dark shadows.  But the best part is how much more intensely every color shines.  You might think that such forceful light may cause a washout of color, but instead the saturation is amped up to the extreme!  The wash of color and light provides warmth on a winter’s day, like the sanctuary of a stained glass cathedral.
