‘Green Mansions’ is a painting developed from landscape drawings made in Cumbria U.K. September 2018. The location is Buttermere and on the day when the drawings were made the light was intense and the shadows deep and clear. The viewpoint is taken from Buttermere looking across the hills over a densely wooded area of pine trees, towards the surrounding hills and mountains. The intensity of the foliage colour is striking as the light spreads across the tree tops. The initial drawings were made purposefully quick, and the energy of brushstrokes in the painting try to capture the dynamics of the location. This isn’t a literal painting. It exists as a painting in its own right. It is about giving an immediate response to a memory of being in this location. It is gestural and expressive, hopefully capturing a memory of a time and place I frequently visit. There are clear references to Fauvism, Expressionism and the 1940’s Cobra art movement. There are also links to the works of Barbara Rae, Gillian Ayres, Howard Hodgkin and John Hoyland.
