Original artwork description:

In creating this piece, I worked in layers and textures on the canvas with acrylics to evoke the serenity of a mystical woodlands. The blending of expressionism with elements of impressionism and fine art brings to mind a semi-abstract vista that invites the viewer to experience nature's introspective tranquillity. The soft greens and delicate expression of light weave a tapestry of serenity and freshness that will infuse any space with the peaceful energy of a sylvan dream.
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.
