The Bluebell Whisperer

The Bluebell Whisperer is a semi abstract woodland path landscape with bluebells and a white barn owl. It is 40x40x1.5 inches. The painting shows a path in a wood with layers of pink, purple and blue bluebells lining the path and between the trees. The trees have apple green leaves and the edges are blurred to better invite the viewer into the painting and along the path. A white owl is gliding in from the right on silent wings. She is both faded by the light and glowing in the strange mottled light that you get through sunlit trees. The style is semi-abstract and quite loose and painterly with the edges blurred and the centre parts impasto in places. The colours are the exact colours of English woodland in April and the feeling of this is what I have tried to capture as it is simply the best time to walk in the woods
