Description of the Artwork “Nature Weaves a Spell”
Nature Weaves a Spell is a very large oil on canvas painting in abstract vs realism style of kingfishers and by a river. It is 71x47x2 inches (181x120x5cms). Two kingfishers can be seen above the river which flows towards us from the left out of a lake. The female kingfisher is hovering and looks towards the male who is about to dive into the water. In the distance you can see hills and trees whilst in the foreground are the birds and an abundance of wildflowers on each side of the river.

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.
