Ah, there’s nothing quite as peaceful as gentle spring sunlight filtering through your window, casting soft shadows of the leaves and branches outside. Wait a second… what the?!… THAT’S PAINT! Those aren’t soft lovely shadows at all, they’re soft lovely paintings by American artist Mary Temple. The top three images are from a project called Extended Afternoon, Aldrich Museum, and the fourth piece is actually how I found her. It’s her contribution to an amazing non-profit organization called RxArt based in New York. Their mandate is to curate ‘installations in hospital settings, [providing] a creative surrounding that helps to relieve stress and anxiety.’
So inspiring on so many levels.
wow. What a find-
So simple, a moment caught in time. But recreated shows talent that is comparable to only mother nature herself.
So beautiful and exquisite’ I thought it was real, i get a beautiful shadow of tree outside through my window and on my bedroom wall’ SERENITY’
Wouldn’t it be so wonderful on hospital and hospice walls.
Love your blog’
