About "06 Hydrangeas in Sea Glass"
This work was painted during a period of travel in Spain, where the intensity and clarity of sunlight became a central focus.
I was drawn to the way light moved through the glass vessel, refracting and settling into the surrounding space. The hydrangeas provided a soft counterpoint -- structured yet delicate -- allowing the interaction between light, surface, and transparency to become the primary subject.
The study connects closely to my ongoing interest in South African light, which carries a similar clarity and presence. In this piece, the aim was not to describe the objects themselves, but to observe how light inhabits them -- how it is held within glass, softened across petals, and cast outward into shadow.
In Solar Realism, this relationship between light and structure is essential. The still life becomes a quiet field in which these interactions can be seen more clearly, without distraction.
The work invites a moment of stillness, where light itself becomes the subject.

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.
