Piece description from the artist
Beautiful England is a summertime poppies and pheasants inspired contemporary English landscape painting. It is 40×40×1.5 inches. The painting is semi abstract in style, predominantly in reds, greens and blues. It was made after a walk I took one August afternoon near Selmeston village which sits to the north of the South Downs hills near Alfriston. It sums up my joy of walking and my love of country landscapes – especially in summer when the wildflowers are out and the lovely idiot pheasants are squawking around in them. This painting is dedicated to all those people who are working to preserve our natural landscapes, nature, wildlife and birds and to anyone who is fighting stop the South Downs being built over. Painted on deep edge canvas, edges white, no frame necessary, ready to hang and comes with a certificate of authenticity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NaK639bvP8

I often paint from memory as it better allows me to move beyond traditional realism and into magical realism using colour, texture and light to express the magic I sense in wild meadows, forests, seas and rivers.
My technique is rooted in traditional oil painting as I build each piece with layers of glaze, texture, and intuitive, art nouveau like, brush stokes, letting the painting evolve organically in a controlled chaos.

I regard my paintings as a captured universes and moments of time. I hope to inspire a deeper appreciation for the natural world and its wildlife and to encourage its protection as well as to provide a place for viewers to escape beyond the mundane and be more curious about the spiritual…
