Summertime Riverbank is a semi abstract painting of the wildflowers and teasel seen by an English river in July. It is 36x30x1.5inches. In the foreground you can see the lilacs and pinks yellows of teasel and other wildflowers and behind them the hint of a calm river and the opposite bank. The painting is semi-abstract and unique in style as though it is an oil painting it has the fluidity of a watercolour. It is wispy and ethereal just like nature and the seasons themselves are. The painting was inspired by a walk and boat trip along the banks of the river Ouse near Lewes. It aims to capture a perfect moment in summer but reflects the transient nature of summer in the UK at the same (fleeting). Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, no frame needed, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity and gifts from the artist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayyrLm8WBEY
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.
