Took an ordinary shot of the crowd at an event and applied some photo-editing—along with some knowledge art history of tenebrism—and got what I think is a nice portrait of couple I know.

This photograph appears to show a disembodied hand, but it’s okay because the model is wearing a black shirt in front of a black backdrop. Anyway, the hand is holding a black tote bag with the Fotolab No.7 logo printed with white ink.
The photo Aaron took of the bag we silkscreened looks way more dramatic than I anticipated!

a vertical view of sixteen cream-colored ball lights, all attached vida metal rod to a central hub, surrounded by COMPLETE darkness, resembling a diorama of a solar system with all-identical planets
a lucky last-minute snap on the way out the door from a delightful local sushi restaurant, I *wish* I'd taken a bit more time to get *just* lower enough to get all the lights within view, but... oh well, next time! (I also learned a new word from a friend […]

This image juxtaposes two dramatic scenes illuminated by intense, theatrical lighting. On the left is Caravaggio’s Seven Works of Mercy, a densely packed Baroque composition depicting multiple acts of compassion—such as feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless—within a dark urban setting, all unified by a striking beam of divine light and the presence of angels above, exemplifying Caravaggio’s signature chiaroscuro and emotional realism. On the right is Joseph Wright of Derby’s An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump, an Enlightenment-era painting showing a scientist demonstrating a vacuum experiment to a captivated group of onlookers lit by a single glowing lamp; their varied reactions—curiosity, horror, wonder—highlight the tension between scientific discovery and emotional sensitivity.
Caravaggio, Seven Acts of Mercy (1606) + Joseph Wright of Derby, An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump (1768)
Tenebrism (dramatic illumination) was invented by Caravaggio and re-employed by Wright.

Secret Garden, an oil on wood painting by Jolene Lai. A light skinned figure wearing a white dress with long pale hair tied in a blue ribbon is standing with their back towards us, in the center of the painting. There is a small gate with two steps, making it seem as though the figure had been walking and paused mid-step, seeming to hesitate continuing onward. Beyond where they stopped is lush greenery, blending into dark, vaguely ominous shadows. This painting captures the feeling of being unsure of what lurks in the darkness

Photo of an oil painting of a woman seated in front of a window holding a baby. She holds a bottle in front of the baby that the baby reaches for and it seated on a bench. Most of the background of obscured by shadow and painted black. The window is open with only light showing through and there is a decorative window pane with circular glass inlays behind her
Absolutely in love with my recent painting.
