Original artwork description:

An interpretation of the changing colours and light of the seasons of trees seen by the roadside during journeys over the last eighteen months. Capturing the warmth and brightness of the sun shining through the trees which are dropping their leaves.

Robert Frost's poem captures the Autmnal mood :

"Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay."

The acrylic painting incorporates luminescent paint and gold-colour mirror-effect leaf which makes it shimmer in changing lights (even more than layered acrylic already does). Painted with brushes and sticks to create the effects of the bark and the leaves.

Painted on canvas, on shallow stretchers, with white edges. D-ring fixes and hanging cord attached. Will look fabulous on the wall as is, or if you prefer a frame you can do so to suit your budget and decor.

I create from what I observe and over the last 18 months I have spent hardly any time at racing and a lot time driving to and from my home to mothers. So I've seen the UK countryside throughout all weathers and seasons whilst also reflecting on the ups and downs of life and old age. More about the inspirations for the "Light Series" of works created in 2017 are on my [website blog]().

Depending on the settings on your mobile/tablet/PC/Mac the colours may differ slightly to the painting you receive. The painting does change colour and brightness depending on the light that is playing on it (as seen in the photos).
