SUMMERS EVE, PENHALT

SUMMERS EVE, PENHALT

'Summers Eve, Penhalt' evolved over the last winter during my time of mentoring with artist David Mankin.  Wishing to explore more abstract mark making, I used a variety of techniques and layering to create a painting of great depth.  Like exploring the depths of a Cornish hedge, there is much to see in the undergrowth in colour and shape.  

The brilliance of the gorse in March was the final inspiration with the underlayers hinting at the far coastline of North Cornwall.  I also wanted to add some movement and moodiness by adding some coloured linework. 

Summers Eve has sold, but prints are available.
