The oil painting titled "And There Will Be Light" features a serene and simple subject matter — a series of swallows perched on utility wires against a clear blue sky. The utility pole anchors the composition on the left side of the canvas, with its intricate array of wires, insulators, and the central lamp drawing the eye amidst the simplicity of the scene. Each swallow is captured in a moment of rest, with the birds spaced at various intervals along the parallel lines. The swallows are rendered with a soft realism, their feathers detailed enough to provide texture and form without detracting from the overall sense of calmness. The sky behind is a soothing expanse of blue, ranging from light to moderate shades, implying a time of day when the light is gentle and even. The title of the painting suggests a thematic focus on the presence and importance of light, both literal and metaphorical, and the anticipation of illumination as the day progresses. The artist's use of light and shadow on the birds and the pole subtly suggests the sun's angle, which might be just out of view. The painting conveys a peaceful coexistence between nature and human-made structures, a snapshot of daily life where the ordinary becomes picturesque. Signed and dated '22 by the artist, the painting is a recent work that invites contemplation on the simple, everyday beauty and the promise of light that brings life into focus.
