Artwork Description:

Title: Burnished Oak

I was inspired by autumn scenes, as I painted this rich brown tree, using alcohol inks and a variety of different techniques to capture different textures. Since childhood I’ve always loved walking through the piles of leaves, this season blesses us with. There’s nothing to compare with the unbridled joy of stomping through heaps of crispy leaves.

The rich brown of this beautiful, chestnut-tinted tree, is intensified with amber leaves and a contrasting pale sunset sky. Reflected in the landscape are the contrasting colours of this season: bright green hills standing out against the warm, rich, earthy palette of turning foliage.

Perfect displayed alone, although you may choose to create a seasonal collection, with which to enhance your home.

Artist Bio:

I paint vibrant and quirky nature-inspired abstracts, uplifting landscapes, effervescent still lifes, as well as, fantasy worlds, planets and waterscapes. I use primarily alcohol-based inks on Yupo or Nara paper, which is waterproof, enabling the inks to move around. Inks are a fluid medium, although I occasionally branch out into some mixed-media artwork. My art captures moments of joy, peace and reflection in the world around me.
