Spectacle de Lumiere

This is our dining room in Provence. In general, I detest overhead lights so I used a lot of lamps to furnish the light in this room. The lamps throw their light down and illuminate the knick knacks on the tables and cast shadows on the walls. Fascinating how the light illuminates warm and strong right next to the light and then cools and certainly becomes fainter as your eye moves away from the source. Should have called this painting “A Study in Light”.
