This painting is a diptych created on two canvases that fit together to form one large panoramic forest scene. In creating this piece, I wanted to capture a gentle arch of trees with the play of bright sunlight and dramatic dark tones. The delicate fusion of hues expresses both the serenity of the forest and the vibrant energy of nature. Its impressionistic style invites the viewer to contemplate the serene dance of light and shadow, while the semi-abstract elements expresses the forest's deep textures. This artwork is a window to a world where peace and vitality coexist. You'll feel the freshness of the lush canopy and the coolness in the shade of blossoms infusing your home with a calming, reflective energy that whispers of untold stories and an unexplored tranquil woodland journey.

An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on two deep edged canvases that fit together. 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 carefully laden strokes with the palette knife create an effect which has been described as similar to a stained glass window or mosaic. The painting continues round the sides, a frame is not needed and each panel is ready to hang. Each canvas is 90x90cms so that when hanging together the painting is 180cms wide. The two panels will be packaged together in a reinforced box and on arrival will be ready to hang.
