Light Leaks - original bokeh oil painting

"Light Leaks"

Original bokeh oil painting

Seek a quiet refuge beneath the wharf. The waves gently lap at your feet while light leaks in through the gaps in the weathered boards above and dances on the water. The shade is refreshing and the salty air wafts through. Hidden under the deck above, you are in a peaceful oasis, your focus softens as you relax and sink into the feeling.

This painting belongs to a series of Bokeh Paintings. The 'blurry lights' evoke a sense of wistful nostalgia. The soft focus gives the painting an air of abstraction and conveys a message of the ways light finds you even in dark places and the beauty of taking the focus off the 'sharp edges' and 'gritty details'.

The wharf reference for this painting is located in New Zealand's Catlins area, in the fishing village of Waikawa.
