Amore garden painting Palette knifed flowers add texture

Palette knifed flowers add texture and focus to the painting while gold flashes catch and reflect light adding depth and interest

I carefully selected the colours to evoke the feeling of sunlight and blue sky’s reflected in water

Yellow flowers splashed onto the artwork have then been built up in thick textured oil paint and wild roses have been added to contrast against the rich golden tones

Don't Leave Me

Amore garden painting Palette knifed flowers add textureAmore, oil and acrylic on canvas, 170 x 110 x 3 cm Amore, my love, I lay in the wildflowers and think of you. The sweet perfume of violet iris cocoons me. The hillside sings of hope and joy. A twisted array of iris and poppy dance in a windblown meadow. A wild beauty, fragile yet defiant and strong. Crooked stalks and creeping tendrils twist around delicate blooms. Divine in its wildness, graceful in its beauty. A forgotten place of beauty. This
