Gold and Rose Forest Light Acrylic

This painting is reminiscent of a forest glade in a subtle palette with gold and earthy colours of nature. Expressing a peaceful glade, there is a suggestion of a lovely sunset. With the dance of light and shadow beneath a beautiful forest canopy, which has a shimmering iridescent quality, the painting will bring a tranquil ambience to any space it inhabits. The blend of pink, mocha and golden tones reflect depth and mystery, crafting an emotional landscape that invites the observer to step into a world where there is narrative and tranquillity.
An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on a deep edge canvas that does not need a frame. 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 on the intersection between abstraction and realism. The painting continues round the sides, it is signed on the front and is ready to hang.
