Original artwork description:

Inspired by trees in Spring, flowers and woods full of blossom this painting has a sense of optimism and fresh colour, new life and growth. Magenta, pink and light green are the colours that bring joy and light, a breath of fresh air after the Winter. Spring breezes blow the falling petals like confetti their joyful flowers heralding the warmer weather and lighter days.

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 result is a contemporary painting, which lies somewhere between abstraction and realism. The painting continues round the sides, a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang.
