Inside Out • Flowers on the Window Sill

Light streaming in through a window. 

My mother's print of Vermeer's maid pouring light into a milk jug.

Pierre Bonnard's shimmers of sun and moonlight.

The cheerful shouts of Matisse bouquets on the windowsill. 

Effulgence on a bowl of fruit. 

Fruits of the Midi         by Auguste Renoir

The intimate glow of a lamp on a crumpled bed.

In the Bedroom by Peter Ilsted

And the blue windows of twilight.

Twilight Interior by George Clausen

  Light outside, dark inside, backlight , bright interiors and dark rectangles of windows holding back the  midnight. The cold light of winter landscape outside and a cheerful interior palette.

Window in Sunlight by Anyon Dieffenbach

Robert Strong Woodwardby George Kersting, 1811

Come explore the light and shadow of your exteriors and interiors. The secret corners of a dark room and the spring sun shining through open windows into the chambers of your favorite memories.

As I noted in this drawing, "there is more to a city sky and a city room than meets the eye".  Big Bird, poodles, shopping bags and snakes.  What's on your window sill?
