Golden Light Forest Fall Acrylic

This piece is an interplay of light and colour that captures the transient beauty of a forest glade. In expressive strokes, I've aimed to evoke the serene yet vibrant spirit of an enchanted forest. The blend of gold, copper and amber tones reflects depth and mystery enticing the viewer to look towards a landscape full of light becoming brighter in the distance. The observer can step into a different tranquil world of forest bathing. It's a piece that breathes energy and wonder into any space.
An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on a deep edge canvas. I begin with observation of the place making notes and taking photographs to work from in the studio. From these beginnings I work intuitively, painting some base layers with a brush and then impasto techniques layer on layer applied with a palette knife. Harnessing optical mixing techniques employed by the impressionists and some of the methods of the old masters such as scumbling and glazing. I continue working until the painting reaches a natural conclusion. The result is a contemporary painting, which lies somewhere between abstraction and realism. The painting continues round the sides and is signed on the front, a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang.
