Original artwork description:

This was exhibited at IX in Reading PA last year, an Imaginative Realism painting that is in a way an homage to late Victorian Symbolist painting including the slightly overblown title! A Hamadryad is a tree spirit in Greek mythology. There are also allusions to the snake in the Garden of Eden and the other use of the word for a cobra. I tried to get the feeling of the rising sun shining through the branches and her hair. I had the idea for this painting mulling around for a while previously but when I saw the circular canvases in my art shop I knew then that it needed to be circular with the composition making full use of the format.

Materials used:

Oil

Although my work is diverse in subject matter there is a common thread that runs through it all, an obsession with colour and mood. Whether it is a landscape, still... Read more
