Original artwork description:

This is a painting from my tall long natural form series. I am striving to capture a sense of stillness, tranquillity and calm in each piece. This rosehip painting from my is unique in compositional terms and represent a fusion of realism with minimalist elements. Each painting in the series is carefully designed to focus the viewers' attention on key compositional devices, resulting in very striking and almost surreal imagery. Direct observation from nature is often combined with an imaginative and personal interpretations. This series is completed with professional quality acrylic paints and mediums and I employ a range of representational and abstract techniques.

'Blute Silber' is an acrylic painting of two rosehips also known as Rose Haws, painted part from real life and part imagination. The background is painted with silver acrylic paint. The strong tonal contrast has been incorporated to create depth and a powerful presence for the poppy seed heads. The composition I am exploring is a particular favourite of mine, I really enjoy the tall thin stalks carrying the beautiful serene poppyseed heads, to me it is very aesthetically pleasing and I am excited to seek out more beautiful compositions and create more dynamic poppyseed heads in terms of the colours, tone, shape, leaves and contrast.

To ensure longevity, my finished work is given a final protective coating using a high-quality acrylic varnish.

This painting has the border painted black so it can be hung without a frame, it has hanging string on the back to pop straight onto your wall. I sign all my paintings with L Corr on the front of my artworks. Thank you for your time and interest in my paintings.
