Original artwork description:

"Golden Forest Light" originates from a woodland area close to my home in the Peak District. I love working with tones of turquoise, copper and gold. Turquoise is such an optimistic colour full of life and vibrancy, while the copper is complimentary.

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 painting continues round the sides, a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang.
