Original artwork description:

"Skylight Gazing" I took inspiration for this painting from looking up at trees near my home in the Peak District. In creating this piece I've woven a tapestry of vibrant colours, capturing the essence of a dreamy woodland vision. The impressionistic brushstrokes and semi-abstract forms create a mesmerizing picture of the sky through the thick canopy of trees, inviting the viewer to wander into a world of peaceful reverie. This is a meditative and calming painting, with some tones of magenta, green, gold and copper. The painting is visually very striking creating an interesting statement piece that will infuse any space with a calm, yet spirited energy, a reminder of nature's quiet majesty.
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. 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.
