Original artwork description:

This piece is an interplay of light and colour that captures the transient beauty of a forest glade. In expressive strokes, I've aimed to evoke the spirit of forest bathing in a peaceful woodland place. The blend of gold, copper and amber tones reflects depth and mystery enticing the viewer to look towards a landscape full of light becoming brighter in the distance. The observer can step into a different tranquil world that will breathe energy and wonder into any space.
An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on a deep edge 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 lies somewhere between abstraction and realism. The painting continues round the sides and is signed on the front, a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang.
