About the Item

60x60cm Oil on Board (68x68cm Framed) The painting is done with a pallet knife and has thick impasto paint in the foreground with a smoother blended sky. The blue light of morning soaks the valley floor as the distant cloud slowly lifts and unveils a brand new day. This painting is part of a series of abstract or semi abstract paintings which I do "Alla Prima". I decide on the pallet choice first and mix up all of the colours, shades and values which I want to use in the painting. And then from a very basic line sketch on the board I start applying the paint in thick and broad strokes with the pallet knife. Often I will then scrape the thick paint off to reveal the stained board. I will then either blend the remaining paint or give it a second application. With this type of painting technique the painting takes form as it goes. As always the important consideration is when to stop. I have also done some larger 80 x 53 paintings in the same style. And although I paint in a few other styles too I can see this particular style become a trademark of me work.
