Spring Orchard is an original oil painting of pink and white apple blossom trees in an orchard by a stream. The inspiration for the painting was of an orchard I found last May near Forest Row in Sussex. The style is contemporary, art nouveau and expressionistic was and was made by blending thick layers of paint over and over again and adding more and more colours and paint daubs until the paint is extra thick in the centre. I kept the edges blurred to help with the effect of it being a painting of a memory. The colours are pale greens, whites and pinks. This place was magical and I wanted to capture a little of the moment. I would not have been surprised to see mythical creatures appear in the fields beyond the stream but instead was happy just to listen to the birds who love May even more that I do. This painting is 30x30x1.5 inches and is painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, no frame needed. https://youtu.be/X1OsVWyDsOI -
Inspired by the music of the same name - that wonderful serene piece of music by Vaughn Williams. But also inspired by the ancient lush Chines and pine trees of Poole in Dorset at sunrise. Walk there and memorise those lovely strains of music so befitting this magical place. This oil painting will come to you ready to hang and for you to enjoy remembering those special moments every day. Oil painted on box canvas with paint continued around the sides and ready to hang, without the need of a frame.
