Llyn Nantlle Print

I was inspired to paint this scene, following a lovely walk in Snowdonia, around this lovely lake. I hope the viewer is drawn in to this, feeling like they can dip their toes in the crisp shallow water on a hot summers day, or take the boat out. To give the viewer the feeling of that very still, cold and fresh air in their face yet being totally absorbed in an amazing beauty. I paint all my work in oil, I love to paint as realistic as possible. However when you look closely, it's very suggestive. From 10 ft away, it looks real but when you get close! The brush strokes just starts to fall apart. I love how the mind fills in those gaps.
