Autumn Radiates

Autumn Radiates is an autumn inspired oil painting of a stag and three deer under luminous orange, magenta and gold trees - 30x30x1.5inches. It was painted after a walk I took in the Burwash area of East Sussex (Rudyard Kipling territory). I had been walking down a steep hill with rows of trees and hedgerow marking the edge of the fields. Under one stand of trees were a group of deer who I seem to see often and have painted often (one buck, three hinds, not the same group but feels like it!). The painting style is contemporary, wet into wet, impasto style which appears to radiate with the energy of autumn (hence the title). It pays homage to the beautiful landscape paintings of Gustav Klimt who I admire for his ability to take something as apparently dull as the corner of a field and part of a tree and make it absolutely fascinating. This painting reflects my favourite warm autumn colours and with my favourite animals and in one of my favourite walking areas. To visit, park in Burwash and walk behind the houses in any direction and say hello to my deer for me) Painted on deep edge canvas. White, ready to hang. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qnj1W1PAoL0
