To Create "Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose," artist John Singer Sargent worked just after sunset for about 20 minutes a day over a 2 year period to record the effect of the light as his little models held their Chinese lanterns.
With the warm glow of the lanterns against the dusky purple of the summer twilight, he told Robert Louis Stevenson that he was seeking to capture “a most paradisiac sight [that] makes one rave with pleasure”
Maybe we, like John Singer Sargent, need to schedule a regular time in the correct light over time to go from ordinary to extraordinary.
"I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." Jesus, John 8:12
