One Enchanted Summer is a multicoloured semi-abstract landscape painting of a summer meadow with trees and swallows. It is 48x36x1.5 inches. The painting looks entirely abstract from a distance as a myriad of colours burst outwards from the middle of the canvas in pinks, greens, purples, deep blues and yellows. When you look closer, however, you see that there are two dancing swallows and pink wildflowers against a backdrop of dark trees with hints at fields beyond them through gaps in the branches. The inspiration for this painting was exploring the many nooks and crannies of the Mayfield and Burwash areas of East Sussex where the viewpoints change swiftly from the streams in the gullies to the rolling hills and small meadows and ancient trees shaped by sheep and deer and old houses and farms that retain their medieval flavour. I often feel I could come across portals to other worlds and enjoy this fantasy as I walk. I think I have conveyed this feeling well in this painting! Painted on deep-edge canvas (edges painted to match the painting), ready to hang, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
