- Creech Tree
Original artwork description
This tree was initially painted plein-air on a small canvas on the old Chard Canal near Creech St Michael, Somerset. The painting is following some of the principles of Fauvism, utilising heightened colours, as paint has been dabbed and drawn across the surface of the canvas, emphasising an intensity of emotion.
The work is part of a continuing series exploring historical place left to nature and entropy. Chard Canal was built before the arrival of the railway, but abandoned once the railway had arrived, eventually being left to ruin, in-turn gradually dismantled. There are parts of the canal that can be still seen, of which this tree is upon one of the remnants of the canal running from Creech St Michael.
You can see parts of the canal on an ordinance survey map of the area.
Materials used:
Acrylic Paint on Stretched Canvas with stiff backing board.
Details:
- Acrylic painting on Canvas

- Size: 24.5 x 31.7 x 2.4cm (framed) / 23 x 30.7cm (actual image size)

work currently explores fragility through layering and entropy. It
responds to history, memory, the landscape and the human condition.
