#8 – Shades of Green

The wispy linear linework of this piece indicates it was completed earlier in my painting career. The linework illustrates the fluttering nature of the changing light on a cloudy day. If you focus on this painting long enough, you can easily immerse yourself in this organic environment, as though you are right there witnessing the rolling light quality amongst the bending grass. This piece includes houses and villages dotted along the Cotswolds’ landscape. I captured a photo while on a trip across the UK that inspired this piece. Pigments of graphite grey, ultramarine blue, sap green and titanium white are richly layered on this canvas.
