Spring Coloured Woods (2015)Oil painting by Emma Cownie

This is the last of the summer wine of a substantial series of oil paintings of a woodland area in Gower Pensinsula between Ilston and Parkmill, which the locals call Cannisland Woods.
It is amazingly beautiful at any time of the year but the light is rarely better than in Winter when it is glassy clear and this helps create a riot of colours and hues in this most dank time, in the mulched leave-layered ground, in the trickling everchanging brook of the Killy Willy, in the distant haze behind the barren trees and in the wonderfully green-mossy trees and shiney, slippery brown barks of the twisted trees by the Killy Willy.
This is another "refractionist" (expressionist) style painting which is similar to Sapling Wood and Rainbow Wood in it's sweeping streaks of colour but much more grand in it's ambition and luxuriant in i'ts detail.
This will probably be the last of this series of paintings for some time so enjoy.
