This was my favorite painting in the whole Radical Light exhibition. It was in the first room you enter and from a distance looks very realistic. Up close, however, it is a mesmerizing swirl of small bits of color that intermingle to give form to the landscape. The more you look, the more colors you see. You can also see the painting through an interior window between Rooms 1 and 5, which enables you to get a nice distant view.
