About "08 Yellow Grapes I"
This painting is a study of light observed directly.
Working from a photographic reference, the focus was on understanding how light moves through the surface of the grapes -- how it is held within the skin, softened across form, and reflected outward into the surrounding space.
Yellow pigments present a particular challenge in oil painting. They can easily become opaque or dull, losing the sense of clarity required to suggest water and translucency. In this piece, the aim was to maintain a sense of internal light, allowing each grape to hold both structure and luminosity.
Within Solar Realism, this relationship between light and form is central. The subject itself becomes secondary to the behaviour of light within it.

About Leone
Leone Tonkinson is a South African-born fine artist based in the Netherlands and founder of Solar Realism, a painting approach centred on the presence and character of natural light.
Working primarily in oils, she combines traditional layered painting techniques with close observation, creating still lifes, wildlife and botanical works marked by luminosity, quiet presence and finely observed detail.
Her South African roots and her life within the Dutch landscape both inform her work, bringing together warmth, nature and a strong sense of place. Rather than simply depicting a subject, Tonkinson seeks the moment when light, atmosphere and presence give it emotional resonance.
Her work is held in private collections and exhibited in the Netherlands and internationally.

Exhibitions
Leone Tonkinson has exhibited in both South Africa and Europe, with recent exhibitions in the Netherlands. Her work is held in private collections internationally.
She is the founder of Solar Realism, a painting approach that explores light not simply as illumination, but as an active presence within the subject. Through traditional layered oil-painting techniques, careful observation and controlled natural light, form, atmosphere and emotional presence emerge together.
Her work applies this approach to still life, wildlife and the natural world, where reflected light, transparency, texture and subtle shifts in colour become part of the subject itself.
