Wildflower Forest Glade Acrylic

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 play of light and shadow, while the semi-abstract elements express the forest flowers. 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 an untold narrative and a tranquil woodland journey.
An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on a deep edge 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 continues round the sides and is signed on the front, a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang.
