Spring Painting

“These abstract paintings are inspired by a return to nature and an appreciation of all of its beauty. As a teen I would spend many hours walking in the forests of the Laurentians where I grew up, stopping, looking and exploring all that was around me down to the finest detail. I would draw the small parts of a larger subject, enjoying the intricacies of each shape and structure. The rebirth of this appreciation came about when a lake that my family visits froze solid without being snow covered. The surface was like a mirror that went on for miles. The reflections in the ice were no longer mountain, sky and tree, but colour, shape and texture. I rediscovered that day that Nature is indeed filled with a treasure trove of shapes, colours and textures. This body of work is an expression of these experiences.” ~ Stewart Fletcher ~ This original oil painting is done on a masonite board mounted on a pine support and the edges ave been painted black. The work is signed only on the back so as not to distract away from the composition. It comes accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity
