Richard Booth

My current work celebrates the flow and journey of a trees growth, each branch has a limitless choice of direction. There are also the urban trees, who's roots and boughs are restricted yet still push forth, slowly emerging from the concrete or pavement stones.
I follow the undulating forms and varied colours, shapes and textures of the subject, each one I paint has its own character that directs the palette. The finished form of the tree provoke an inspired background composition to ignite its presence, often stark or flat, complementing the vigour of the subject.

My other work explores various ideas and concepts using figurative painting.
