Original artwork description:

This painting captures the vibrancy of the natural world full of glorious colour, a symphony of beauty with tones of amber, gold and cherry red. The expressive strokes and bright colours evoke a spirit of rejuvenation and inspiration. It is an emotional response to the beauty and complexity of a forest, blending reality with imagination through a semi-abstract perspective. It will bring a refreshing yet calming energy into any space.
An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on deep edged canvas. I begin with observation of the place making notes and taking photographs to work from in the studio. From these beginnings I work intuitively, painting some base layers with a brush and then impasto techniques layer on layer applied with a palette knife. Harnessing optical mixing techniques employed by the impressionists and some of the methods of the old masters such as scumbling and glazing. I continue working until the painting reaches a natural conclusion. The result is a contemporary painting, which lies somewhere between abstraction and realism. The carefully laden strokes with the palette knife create an effect which has been described as similar to a stained glass window or mosaic.
The painting continues round the sides and a frame is not needed. It is signed on the side for aesthetic purposes and is ready to hang.
