Sunset in the Woods Abstract Expression 024 Acrylic

Sunset in the Woods Abstract Expression 024 24 x 20 x 0.5 inches (60 x 50 x 2 cm) Acrylic on Stretched Canvas
The Artist Eraclis painting of forest with sunset and lake is very textured and abstract expression with vigorous brush and palette knife paint marks scaping in and layering metallic and glowing colours that look like joules simmering in the hot sun by the lake- refreshing! Abstract shapes and pattern of colour is painted in large single bold strokes with bright colours emphasized painterly qualities and strong shapes over the representational or realistic values retained by observation. Very little colour mixing is done, and pure tube colours are premixed, but are mixed on the canvas with every stroke producing the colour the Artist Eraclis requires with a single stoke learnt over many years of mixing and painting.
Textured form, shades, light and shape interact and play to add life and movement, complementing the juxtapositions of shape and form. Texture effect add character and interest with exaggerated paint strokes to the composition. Thick and lush paint has a unique dimensional abstract quality.
