Original artwork description:

This painting celebrates Summer with sunlight through beautiful leaves and dappled light, while shadows contrast with the bright tones inspired by fresh woodlands and Summer flowers. A tapestry of brightness and colour emerges, weaving a narrative that takes the viewer forest bathing through a peaceful wooded glade.
An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on a deep edge canvas that does not need a frame. 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 on the intersection between abstraction and realism. The painting continues round the sides, it is signed on the side and is ready to hang.
