Lighting is Everything !

Lights-Off-Blog_0223

Lights-On-Blog_0223What a difference proper lighting makes!

To properly display art in a hospital, the first thing to ask is "What lighting will the picture have?"

This point was made crystal clear to me the first time I exhibited in a gallery with a quarter-million dollar lighting system. I was stunned by how much better my pictures looked; better than I had ever seen them. It was as if they were properly dressed for the first time. The pictures just seemed to pop; better contrast, better color, better presence.

But you don't have to use such a fancy computer-operated system. Just a few inexpensive spot lights can make all the difference, as the picture above demonstrates. This is a recent installation in Virginia with one of my canvas prints (Lotus-Back 7558). 

This picture was taken with Norm Brinkman's iPhone.
