Original artwork description:

"Summer's Daydream" was inspired by a lovely forest near my studio in the Peak District where sunlight filters through the trees creating shadows over the forest floor. The Woods are beautiful at this time of year full of fresh new leaves and forest flowers.

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.

I package work securely and track for the journey sending by special delivery with parcel force from the UK.
