The Story Unfolding is a large pink, orange and rainbow coloured semi-abstract painting of an autumn landscape deer on a path to another universe. It is 40x40x1.5 inches. The back ground of the painting is bright orange and magenta and towards the centre you see a fallow deer buck and a doe. They look as if they are deciding on something. Behind them are three other female deer running along a path towards a bend with trees either side of them. There is an urgency to them as if they know something we don’t. The edges of the landscape surrounding the deer are quite colourful and abstract and give the appearance that the landscape is somehow unravelling. The idea was to literally show a universe coming into creation or perhaps morphing into something else. It is painted on deep edge canvas, edges orange/magenta, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity.
I am a professional artist based in East Sussex who creates large semi abstract landscape, seascape and wildlife paintings in oil on canvas. My painting style is very distinct and fuses art-nouveau, impressionist and semi-abstract techniques with traditional portraiture that reflect my love of nature, animals, birds and the flora and fauna of the landscapes around me. My main working method has been the development of a painting style I term ‘memory impressionism’. This method involves going walking somewhere, looking at and absorbing the things I see and experience, and then returning home to my studio to try and capture an echo or essence of the place from memory - including any wildlife I may have seen. By this method I can capture essences and echoes of places and the feeling I have about them. I love the ancient landscapes of England and my paintings often reflect the spiritual elements that such landscapes have.
