New: “Illumination”

When I lived on Martha’s Vineyard…a truly magical island in many ways…one of the greatest, and most magical, annual events was Illumination Night at the Camp Meeting Grounds in Oak Bluffs. If you haven’t seen it, you should, as it’s otherworldly. The small Victorian cottages that line the great circle around the Tabernacle cover almost every square inch of wall and porch with paper lanterns, of all colors. While finishing this piece, the light hitting the right side of the barn, as well as the overall varied color palette, reminded me of this annual event. “Illumination” 40 x 30
