ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I made this work in 2014; it had been on loan until recently and now I'm making it available for sale, but before I did that I added a few touches of gold leaf (24 carat gold) to highlight some of the autumn leaves. There is also a little gold oil paint, which adds a soft lustre, so the leaves appear to shimmer as they fall. It's has some very rich brown passages so the glimmering leaves make a good contrast to the mysterious dark interior of the hedge. The painting is contained by a narrow edge of strip wood (adding about 4mm all round). This is not intended to act as a frame and is only temporary and there to protect the stretcher bars. They should be removed before framing.

Me, the artist - this is how I do it: Sometimes I work en plein air, but that’s not easy with large canvases, so I usually begin with quick sketches outdoors. I record the shapes, the colours, contours, shadows, the weather, the mood. I take lots of photographs. Then, back in the studio, I transform this collection of images and impressions into paintings which are semi-abstract in style. But then, all painting is abstract in a sense; painters abstract elements of colour, light and energy from the interplay of patterns before them. My technique, if you can call it that, allows me to achieve a tension between looseness and control, moving between spontaneity and deliberation. The intention is to make paintings that interpret the natural world - the sheer untidiness of it, from the summer exuberance of a herbaceous border in a cottage garden to the intricate assemblage of wild beauty in an autumn hedgerow. Portrait work is another matter. Making landscapes feels like working outwards, but when I’m making portraits, I’m working inwards – of course, I’m painting the effect of light on the surface of skin, a face or a hand – but in a way, I’m looking into the interior of the person to discover what's there, in effect, the interiority of the subject. I prefer to make full-figure pieces because this allows a greater narrative.
