His first appeal is in how colour and value produce the illusion out-of white and you can shade. For example, when he paints landscapes depicting morning otherwise late day, the newest white is usually filtered from the soil otherwise moisture, causing a warm purple-lime shine. In this situation, portions off items lit by the tangerine light echo desire about viewer’s eyes, even if the meditation was away from snowfall. Brand new cooler bluish, yellow and you may green tincture throughout these warmly lit scenes generate depth.

He commonly attempts to improve brightest stuff seem illuminated out of inside as well as regarding event light, which will make an otherworldly shine, for example electrified neon when you look at the cup. It is primarily the luminous quality of saturated and you will impressionistic color you to pleases him extremely.
