Dear Artist, It's the last days of the John Singer Sargent show at the Seattle Art Museum and the place is standing room only. Patrons jostle for a look while clutching audio-guides to their ears. There's lots to talk about.
People are in a state of excitement and awe.
In this painting Sargent tackles sunlight on two white camp-tents. Light on the ruffles of the tents. Light through the transparency of a tent's canvas. Light inside the tents. Light through campfire-smoke on the tents.
