Original artwork description:

I was in England for an exhibition of my paintings in Cheltenham. This allowed me to discover the beautiful Cotswolds. The hilly landscapes, the green meadows in this Spring and the cloudy skies inspired me a series of paintings. It was a wonderful stay.

I painted this one in the surroundings of Upper Slaugther.

This landscape is a plein air painting, painted “alla prima”, with lively and spontaneous brushstrokes to attempt to capture the momentary effects of sunlight , the movement and the atmosphere.

Materials used:

This painting is painted with professional grade oil colors on a primed canvas. I prepare myself my canvases to create a texture specific to my painting needs and to insure them maximum longevity.
