Subject:
forest landscape
Nature painting inspired by the patterning found on the tree bark in the winter months in sherbrook forest.
Bark and Blooms reference its source the Tasmanian gum through its textured patterning of trunk and foliage this work reveals Nature’s own mystical qualities of creativity.
Made with love
Professional quality acrylic paints on either a 10 or 12oz canvas. I like to stretch the canvases myself, select the materials, the wood and canvas and assemble the frames in my studio. Frames are either hardwood or pine, professional stretchers that are stretched with either 100% cotton or a cotton-polyester blend. I like the smooth fine weave of the polycotton.
Handling the materials at this early stage provides my initial connection with the work, a familiarity with the wood and the surface of the weave and marks the beginning of a journey.
