Foxgloves and rocks Forest Floor (2021)Oil painting
by Gav Banns

I'm surrounded by forests, one of my favourite retreats to just be silent and present with my surroundings. The Germans have a word for it - Waldeinsamkeit - being alone, and having a oneness with the forest.

Forests can be a challenge to paint because there is so much going on, but the summer foxgloves captivated me, along with the play of light, and so I created this oil painting in an impressionist manner to try and capture something of that experience.

It is painted on canvasboard (canvas attached to board), and has been left for a year before varnishing.
