Tree painted without artificial light : What would a painting of an oak tree look like made at night with no illumination, on a board darker than the night sky? Because the eye's powers of resolution are so much weaker in low light, I could not see the rough brush marks as I made the painting. I saw an image materialising that looked like the tree in the field, but at sunrise the sharp edges became lies.

The painting has a message about the limits of experience. It only resembles the original vision in a twilit room: a light much lower than the screen brightness of your digital device.
