In "Rainbows", Carolyn Reynolds layers silver leaf with translucent color, creating a surface that shifts from warm coral and gold to serene aqua and blue. The effect is reminiscent of light passing through mist, revealing subtle variations as the viewer moves around the work. Two hummingbirds hover within this field of color, their wings suspended as though caught mid-flight, inviting viewers to pause and look closer.
The silver leaf beneath the painted surface refracts light in ever-changing ways, at times bright and reflective, at others soft and muted, allowing the piece to transform with its surroundings. Collectors often find that Reynolds’ paintings feel deeply personal — each one an unrepeatable creation, made by hand, offering the rare opportunity to bring a truly singular vision into their home or collection. "Rainbows" leaves room for discovery, whether one sees it as a fleeting encounter, a study in motion, or a meditation on shifting light and color.
