"Bell Flower Blues" is inspired by the lovely woods close to my home in the High Peak. This is a beautiful peaceful place and I often walk here taking my sketchbook. Light filters through the leaves creating dramatic shadows over the forest floor where grasses and flowers grow in abundance, expressed by abstract marks in the foreground. The beautiful blues in the foreground are suggestive of bluebells and a fresh Spring scene.

An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on deep edged canvas. I use impasto techniques layer on layer applied with a palette knife, creating a contemporary painting, which lies somewhere between abstraction and realism. The painting continues round the sides and it is ready to hang.
