Original artwork description:

This painting was inspired by some lovely woods near my home in the Peak District. Sunlight plays through beautiful leaves creating dappled shadows and light, while the darker tones contrast with delicate light colours of violet and green. This is a beautiful time of year in the woods and the painting conveys a feeling of a fresh leafy glade.

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 oscillates somewhere between abstraction and realism. The painting continues round the sides, a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang.

For secure shipping I package work carefully and dispatch by special delivery using parcel force, always tracking for the journey to ensure safe arrival.
