Dappled Light, Woodland Path, 2024

"Dappled Light, Woodland Path" This piece is an interplay of light and colour that captures the transient beauty of nature. I've aimed to evoke the serene yet vibrant spirit of an enchanted forest where light filters through the glade from the distance. A beautiful reminder of this fresh time of year in the woods the colours being delicate and the scent of flowers on the air.

An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints thin 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 is white at the sides, it would benefit from a frame, which is not supplied, there is a cord to hang at the back. The painting will be supplied with a certificate of authenticity.
