Tree and Light no:2 SOLD Painting

My artwork is abstract and semi abstract, based on the natural world. The vast areas of natural landscape here in Northern Ireland are a pleasure to study. The changeable weather and light have become a fascination for me. Also spotting the beauty in the details all around us, in day to day life, has become a valuable past-time - catching a glimpse of the horizon, a view, a beautiful tree, interesting shapes in the hedgerow, etc., have all become sources of inspiration. Most of my life I have been a city dweller but since moving into a rural setting in 2005 I notice more and more the changes of the seasons and I use this in my work. When painting I rely on memory and recollection of the subject matter, be it a detail, weather occurrence or place. Alongside this, the act of painting is as important as the subject matter. I am also interested in using the presentation of a picture, namely the frame, as an important role in the composition of that artwork. http://hmcerlean.com
