Original artwork description:

A vivid expressionist oil pastel painting of trees by the river - done directly outdoors as the expressionists of old. A peaceful patch of nature - quiet stream - trees freely growing - overlapping mingling jungle - bridging as they bend over, mirroring images in the water. The place is identical with that of 'Bridges 05' and 'Bridges 06'. - - - Mostly I sketch, draw and paint directly from nature, in front of a model or object - keeping this practice feeds into my work as a sculptor, printmaker and conceptual artist. Oil pastel is a great medium for the expressionist. Such an 'oil pastel and graphite object' breathes so much authenticity, having it on the palm of your hand you will feel its preciousness.

The very handy collection format is A6 - 14.8 x 10.5 cm - the actual image about 13.2 x 9.1 cm leaving an about 7 mm white edge from having been masking taped during its making. The virtual image is placed upon a white background as to imply a passe-partout or frame. All reasonable efforts are made to provide a good representation of colour, however due to computer monitor limitations, some variation may occur. PLEASE VIEW THE SECOND PHOTO FOR THE ACTUAL WORK that sells unframed, considering that photos cannot fully express the beauty of the actual work. - - - Thanks for clicking 'Favourite' and 'Follow' - and you may like to check one of my social media accounts (via the 'About' section) for more interesting discoveries.
