In camera-speak, blinkies are the sections of a photo where strong light registers as glare rather than revealing the lighted object. On digital cameras, playback screens can be set to make the blinkies literally blink. Mabel loves this feature. And I notice on a second viewing that Helen Verhoeven also seems to like blinkies. The brightest spot in many of her paintings has the appearance of glare, like a blinky.
