Photo-realist Rod Chase is particularly taken with any scene that
features strong reflections. He has traveled to Washington, D.C., to see
and photograph the more important buildings close-up, in the daylight,
to have a record of accurate architectural detail on them. Then,
painting a moody scene like this one, he has to decide how much detail
to keep and how much to lose because it detracts from the basic
composition. His most popular pieces, Liberty's Light and Dawn's Early
Light, both featured reflections as a key - if not the key - element.
