The Vastese hinterlands are truly glorious this time of the year, the studio is surrounded with magnificent blazing hues. A dance of sepia, crimson, amber, copper, auburn, carnelian, russet & emerald tones, bright & bold and vibrant. I have been working on and still mid flow on a few organic foliage larger paper works trying to in some way portray an essence of this brilliant landscape, gamboge, lurid & burnished tinges, these changing colours remind us of constant change, of burning bright, of letting go, resting before new growth.
I forget how alive this season is, the colours seem more ablaze this year or have I underestimated how incredible nature is.
I have added 4 new abstract works for sale to my website, these are studies from a few almond foliage paintings that I made in September.
