Original artwork description:

Nature Unbound is a large semi-abstract English countryside oil painting of a river with swallows, wildflowers and the South Downs behind. It is 60x36x1.5 inches. The painting is semi-abstract art nouveau, realistic, ethereal and energetic in its finish and totally unique in style. It looks interesting close up and also from a distance. It shows a view across the bend of a river towards hills with mad clumps of wildflowers each side radiating out from the centre of the painting. Meanwhile on the right, a swallow is speeding across the river with several more swallows behind her in the same rush of motion. The painting was inspired by a walk I took along the river Arun in August last year. The swallows move very fast feeding on the insects along the river and the flowers really were this explosive. I felt happy and I have expressed this plus the energy of the scene which is what it makes it different to more traditionally rendered landscapes. I am keeping it on my own wall until it is sold as it takes me to a very happy place whenever I see it! Painted on deep edge canvas, wide edges, ready to hang and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
