Description

‘First Buds’ was created as a response to my anticipation of Spring – a collection of events, including new green buds on the trees, birdsong changes, and the shifting nature of light in the forest. The momentum towards this seasonal change fills me with excitement and hope, year upon year.

The painting was made using acrylic paint and pen, with sharp delineated glazes over a blended background, layer upon layer, providing the contrast between feeling and fact. This is an primarily an ‘internal landscape’ of feeling, but with figurative hints.
