Late Afternoon Reflections

Late Afternoon Reflections is an acrylic painting of a yellow beach house mirrored in a tranquil swimming pool. This scene is serene but the hues are vibrant, a combination that captivates viewers by delivering immediate visual impact. Yet, the piece invites deeper contemplation with each glance, by revealing subtle nuances in how our minds perceive colors, space and light.

Specifically, Late Afternoon Reflections delivers both a physical and metaphorical reflection to the viewer — what is reflected in the pool is limited to the most notable aspects of the house and is in a light blue hue even though the viewer sees it as yellow, just like our reflections of our personal experiences tend to only focus on the emotional highlights and are colored by our biases.
