Wildflower Wood (2023)Acrylic painting
by Amanda Horvath

"Wildflower Wood" was inspired by a lovely forest close to my home where the trees form an arch. My inspiration begins with my walks through the beautiful forest where I live close to the natural world. This is the foundation of a creative process and continues with intuitive imaginative development of the painting. Golden light plays through beautiful leaves and blossoms creating dappled shadows and sunlight while the forest floor is abundant with Spring flowers. A sense of distance has been created by the use of delicate painting techniques so that the viewer feels as though they are taking a journey in to the painting.

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 painting continues round the sides, a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang.
