"Evergreen Mirage"

Original bokeh oil painting 

The blurring of the view echoes the optical illusion of a mirage in this bokeh-licious garden painting. The Winter Gardens of Queens Park are a magical tropical oasis within the city: enclosed within the walls of the Winter Garden are a range of tropical and flowering plants.

As you enter the warm, humid environment your glasses and camera lens, cold from the outside air temperature, instantly fog - blurring the scene before you so it looks a little like this painting. 

This painting belongs to a series of Bokeh Paintings recently exhibited at the Art Attic Gallery as part of the 'B' Exhibition. The soft focus allows light to grow and gives the painting an air of abstraction and conveys a message of the ways light finds you through the darkness and the beauty of that softness, of taking the focus off the 'sharp edges' and 'gritty details'.
