Sharing this new photo of the painting 'Spiral of Light' because it's closer to the actual colour of the painting than the one previously published on this blog on March 13. 2017. Especially with regard to the colour blue.
It was painted in January 2017. The reason for the colour change was that my original photo was not in focus. A friend called by and offered to sharpen it up using photo-shop, something i have never used as i like to keep to the actual painting which takes many hours of fine-tuning in the process of working on it to get it right.
My friend demonstrated the range of what was possible with many variations and we settled on the version previously published. While it was crisper and an improvement in that sense, the actual colour was altered considerably, the painting itself does have more of a softness and warmth. Even so, digital cameras do often alter the colour, depending on the light source.
In the meantime i let another friend use the modified image to be on the cover of a lovely set of Vedic Astrology Cards she has designed. She recently expressed a wish that it was closer to the true colour, blue especially.
So i've just taken some new and more accurate photos. Sending them as a surprise she wasn't expecting. Promptly realizing it would also be good to post them on the blog. Perhaps with one or two close-ups of detail as previously.
Besides, i'm glad of a valid opportunity to show the painting again in another light. Hopefully conveying even more of my imaginative intention of vision described in the original post, 'Spiral of Light, March 13. 2017. ~

A BRIEF PREVIEW.
Additionally, here's a brief preview of a forthcoming post. A most recent painting, already completed, and the stages it went through. Titled: Gamble On Roses. With accompanying explanatory article. So called due to not knowing how it would turn out. Fortunately it worked out fine. ~
