Description
Creation
is a large 48x48x1.5 inches painting of the view through trees to a Sussex
summer meadow with flowers and swallows. The style is art nouveau and
contemporary and the colours are extremely bright and vibrant. The impression
the painting gives is of a voyeuristic glimpse of a late summer meadow with an
abundance of wild flowers in the foreground and the hint of wheat and grasses
in the meadow behind. Two swallows swoop down from the left throwing
transparent veils over the scene in a slightly spiral pattern as if they are
creating the landscape or revealing it. In the far distance you can see a river
on the horizon and an exit into the next field beyond. This painting was very
much inspired by the river Rother near Burwash in Sussex in summer 2020 where I
thrashed my way through tall grasses and flowers to watch the swallows gathering
in the air around me ready to leave for Africa. It is always a slightly melancholy
time as it means end of summer so I felt the urge to pay tribute to a lovely
English landscape (yes despite a pandemic) and am satisfied I have caught a
little of the energy and beauty that birds, flowers and nature bring to this
world. The edges are dark green, no frame needed, ready to hang. If you want to
find this place, go to the Bear Inn in Burwash and head north towards Stonegate…
