Description

This serene painting is an interpretation of a forest inspired by nature. The expressive brushstrokes capture the dance of light through a canopy of leaves, cascading warmth onto a mosaic carpet of turquoise, gold and copper. Evoking the tranquillity of nature, this piece is a nostalgic view of a lovely forest, with a touch of fantasy and a sense of peace.
An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on deep edged 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 carefully laden strokes with the palette knife create an effect which has been described as similar to a stained glass window or mosaic. The painting continues round the sides, a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang.
