Angels of May is a large panoramic summer by a river semi-abstract landscape with a herd of deer and a white hart. It is 60x30 inches. Cow parsley and other wild flowers are hinted at in the foreground but are blurred as the focus is the deer across the river. One of the deer is a white hart. The style is semi abstract and is made up of lots of layers and some impasto brushwork. It has a lovely summer glow to it and lots of overlapping colours and energy. A small river is hinted at between the flowers. The inspiration for this painting was a group of deer I came across near the river Medway in Sussex recently. One was brilliant white (see photo) I was so happy to see them all I decided to paint them. Painted on 3D canvas, edges wite, no frame needed, ready to hang. Comes with certificate of authenticity from the artist
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.
