Even though Linda's painting has the face in shadow it really isn't. "Shadows" out of doors in an open expanse are illuminated by the skylight. So this is really a portrait head under the influences of two distinct lightsources. The temperature changes are a result of the difference between the cooler sky temperature and the warmer sun temperature. This could be replicated indoors by a knowledgeable photographer, assuming there are any.
