Transporting viewers to an enchanting riverside setting, this painting captures the quiet elegance of a white egret surrounded by lush greenery and soft pink wildflowers. The careful use of light and texture transforms the landscape into a tapestry of magic, where the boundary between reality and illusion is blurred. Each brushstroke weaves together an idyllic scene, reminiscent of a peaceful June walk along the river Medway, where nature's stillness and beauty are gloriously unveiled.
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.
