Sunlight/Moonlight

These are not the original titles or colours of these De Waal exhibits. The lighting in Waddesdon was odd as it was so hot that they had blinds down everywhere. I altered the colours and came across this effect, created by the spotlights.

Authentic title of the whole exhibition is ‘We Live Here, Forever Taking Leave.’ Based on a quotation from Rilke.

So, a new perspective!
