Original artwork description:

"Forest of Amber and Gold" is inspired by a beautiful woodland near my studio in the Peak District. The painting captures the rich tones of amber, copper, red, and gold, evoking a sense of optimism and peaceful calm. Dappled light filters through delicate leaves, while the textured foreground—created with a palette knife—adds an abstract quality. The interplay of distant light and deep shadow conveys the forest’s serene atmosphere and offers an impression of nature’s spirit in autumn. With its intuitive and imaginative development, the painting becomes a window into a world where peace and vitality coexist.

This is a one-of-a-kind original artwork, painted using high-quality acrylics on deep-edged canvas. The creative process begins with on-site observation, where I take notes and photographs as reference. In the studio, I work intuitively starting with brushwork for the base layers, then building texture through impasto techniques using a palette knife. Inspired by the optical mixing techniques of the Impressionists, I continue layering until the piece reaches its natural conclusion.

The painting extends around the sides of the canvas, so no frame is required and it's ready to hang.
