A Quieter Forest Way

"A Quieter Forest Way" conveys a serene yet vibrant pathway where the trees arch so far over the path that they touch in the middle. Working layer upon layer the painting becomes a semi-abstract journey through nature. Sunlight filters through the trees creating shadows over the forest floor and the bright tones of copper, green and turquoise shimmer, inviting the viewer to wander along the forested trail and reflect upon the quietude and harmony. It's an escape into a softer, more peaceful world, a reminder of nature's gentle pulse, destined to infuse any space with tranquillity and inspiration.
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. Harnessing optical mixing techniques employed by the impressionists. I continue working until the painting reaches a natural conclusion. The painting continues round the sides a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang.
For shipping overseas, the painting will need to be taken off the stretcher and rolled into a tube, on receiving the painting it will need to be re-stretched onto a wooden frame.
