When painting a still life, landscape or portrait the principles of light are the guiding force. The artist does not pursue photo-realism but rather the mood and light effect evoked by the subject. It is the difference between reading a technical manual or poetry, hence the name “painter of poetry”. ( https://www.painterofpoetry.com/About_Us.html )
