Firefly 22 x 28″ oil on gallery wrapped canvas

Everyone’s wish as a child is to capture the light of a Firefly. It so happens I had the privilege to create the portrait of the man who did just that, Paul Schaap. The challenge in this painting was to control the various light sources in this mystical wonderland or light, without losing the effect of the illumination on the young girl’s face. When I saw this beautiful child I knew she was the one I wanted to be this wonder child, who like all of us, wondered at the miracle of bioluminescence. Artists may find it interesting that I used Cadmium Green straight to achieve the light effect of the bioluminescence. I found it very difficult to photograph. Trust me, the Firely’s tail is the lightest thing in the painting, by one stop. My camera simply can’t capture this. Imagine, dreaming of those summer nights with this inspiring painting.
