Natures Harmony, 2023

Natures Harmony is a very large oil painting of two swallows over a Sussex-inspired landscape in summer. It is 48 x 48 x 1.5 inches. The painting was made in a semi-abstract, lyrical, slightly art-nouveau style. The two swallows are swooping over the wildflowers below them and beyond them you can see summer flowers, fields and meadows leading to the sea in the distance. The inspiration for this painting was the views you get from the South Downs in Sussex. It is not an actual spot – it is simply the echo of this area made from memory. Different glazes of transparent colour and art-nouveau style lines and curves give it an energy which, for me, fits with the exuberance of summertime when the birds and flowers and insects are in harmony with each other and make a great song and dance about it. Edges white; ready to hang; no frame needed; comes with a certificate of authenticity.
