Rainbow Glade Acrylic

"Rainbow Glade" was inspired by a lovely forest close to my studio in the Peak District. The painting has colours of amber, copper, pink and gold with a mood of optimism and peaceful calm. 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.
An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on deep 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. The painting continues round the sides and it is ready to hang.
