Kingfishers over the River Ouse Oil

Kingfishers over the River Ouse is a semi-abstract contemporary English landscape painting inspired by the river Ouse in Sussex and its kingfishers. It is 36x24x1.5 inches. This painting was made by building layers of oil paint over a blurred depiction of the river but hinting at the wildflowers, pink Himalayan balsam plants and trees on each side with a view to a bend in the river in the distance. Vertical layers of transparent paint plus the two kingfishers are layered over this to create the idea of a scene unfolding but fleetingly (which sightings of kingfishers tend to be). This is the 2nd in a series of liminal landscapes where I am using real places painted from memory which I felt were liminal – between spaces – ethereal and slightly magical. Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity.
