Thank you, Marina! It was exciting to paint because there was so much grey and only a small amount of color. You are, of course, a master of this kind of control even under "normal" lighting conditions, but most of my work has a lot of color in it, so this was a departure. Before I started I thought a lot about how I would achieve the subtlety of the color, and how much illusion of color (or implied color) I could get by using complementary colors to make grey, then varying the warm/cool mix to make various "colors." I only added more actual colors near the light.
