Garth, that's a difficult question!
During the last week we had sunny spells after dull day, and the sun, around six o'clock was coming in and bouncing under the clouds. Warm golden light, very diffused, cool halftones. The trouble is that it lasts fifteen minutes in between the Simpsons and bath time, so trapping my son in the studio to sit is almost impossible, but magical when it happens.
Anyway the main thing it affects is the mood rather than the painting! In the winter we have days and days of overcast weather that would suit Cezanne (he used to paint dr Gasquet only in white sky days), and it is a constant cool light to work in, but I am desperate for sunshine, once a week!
I.
