Original artwork description:

Sussex River is 30 x 24 x 0.5 inches semi abstract oil on canvas landscape painting of a Sussex river with wildflowers and magpies. The painting is semi abstract, art nouveau in style and was painted using very thick paint. It was painted after I took a long walk along the river Ouse near Barcombe in summertime on a dull but hot day. I tried to reflect this dullness with coldish colours as opposed to my usual warm ones. I like the pink and purple flowers that grow next to rivers as they contrast so well with the green water and fields beyond. As always, when you walk in England, there was a continuous background noise of birds and insects as well as constant motion as they fly randomly about. Like many people I love walking along rivers. You can see them vanish in the distance and it is very alluring to keep walking along them in case you discover something wonderful... Painted on standard canvas, edges white, frame recommended but not essential, ready to hang
