Piece description from the artist
The Hares Summer Song is a large vibrantly coloured semi-abstract landscape painting of a hare among red poppies with a pale summer moon above her. It is 36×36×1.5 inches. The painting was inspired by sightings of hares in the meadows near the South Downs one June. There is a magical aspect to hares and there is a lot of folklore surrounding them which is why when I spotted one, I felt like I was in a fairy story. Especially as she sat in a wildflower meadow with a pale moon above. I believe there is magic in nature and there is magic in the ancient landscapes of England which is something I try to capture when I paint based on a memory of somewhere. The style is semi-abstract art nouveau and was made by building glazes and texture which reflect different colours thought out the day. Painted on deep edge canvas, edges white, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV_N6YmD43g
I am a Sussex based artist who paints large semi-abstract oils that aim to capture, not just the visual echoes of a location, but its scents, sounds, and spiritual energies. They are inspired during my regular walks in landscapes and any encounters with wildlife and birds.
My paintings are completely unique in style.
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.
Animals, pathways, and portals are recurring motifs in my painting’s, often as symbols of the mysteries that lie just beyond the visible. I am fascinated by the folklore and hidden stories woven into the countryside.
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…
