Good Light

Sunlit greenhouse

Winter is just the best time of year to spend in a greenhouse or conservatory. And the best time of day to be in a greenhouse in the winter is late afternoon when the light streams in through the frosted windows. The light just billows in and reflects everywhere and comes out in little glowing patches. It all seems alive in a kind of passive way. Very solar. And then the sun begins to decline and the magic drains away. Bye. Time to get serious and button up.

I had about thirty minutes to make this sketch yesterday.
