Autumn Jewels in the Crown
Remebering a breezy but bright morning sketching at Bressingham Gardens, Suffolk. Drinking in the rich autumnal colours and warm glow of sunshine. A crown of turning acer leaves against a cool sky, merging in the sunlight, glowing crimson and burnt sienna.
Intuitively painted in response to movement, light or forms that entrance me. I sketch en plein air and paint as often as I can in the space I am responding to. When this is not possible I use collaged and digitally manipulated photographs or my memory to conjure the essence of a space, eliminating details for shapes and colours that evoke a connection rather than a realistic representation.
Mixed Media on deep edged 60 x 60cm canvas, Framed in white wooden tray frame, ready to hang.

My paintings are mainly in acrylics with waterbased pastels and pencils used to scribe gestural details and motifs. Painted onto either triple gessoed ply panels or high quality canvases, all paintings are UV sealed. We try to represent colours as accurately as possible but differences in hue will occur due to variations in monitors and lighting. If you are interested in a painting but unsure of how it will work with your space I can send you more images, even paint samples if you need to match a colour. It is also possible for me to produce an ‘insitu’ digital impression of how the piece would look in your room. Please email me if you wish to discuss this.
