"And Sophie Awaits," acrylic 5"x7" by Victoria Chesley Brega
This is my brother's family's sweet Golden Doodle, every bit as soft and fluffy as she appears, a perfect subject for "Light..."
"Christmas Light" 6x6 Acrylic on Board by Kelley Carey MacDonald
The photo couldn't capture the vibrancy of the color, but this was a gift set near a window and when the morning sun came up it just made a brilliant cadmium red on the light side. The light hitting the foil was a challenge, but important to the painting, too.
"Humarock Light" 8"x10" Pastel on Archival Board by Margaret Farrell Bruno
The glow of light in Humarock during sunsets at times is a wonderful thing to behold.
As soon as I saw this image I knew I had to paint the glow around the two silhouettes.

| "Listen" ink & watercolor by Jody Regan. Each year, this candlelight service at New North Church is peaceful, moving, bright, and hopeful. |
I totally winged it here using acrylics. If it got too dark I kept layering the lights. Push, pull, apply, remove. No rules, except letting go.
I painted this plein-air last summer, and added more to it this month from memory. I wished I could have simply gone back out and finished painting it from life, but there's always next year.
