Sunset Over the River Exe Print

This painting is inspired by the view from Lypmstone Manor on the river Exe in Devon. Watching the sun rise over the water forms beautiful reflections that sparkle. A feeling of relaxation, reflection and happiness might be felt when looking at this painting. It revives the spirit, just like being by the river when the sun is setting. I work in oil paint as the colours are richer and texture is heavier. The top half of this piece is smooth which contrasts nicely against the lower part where I have used a palette knife to apply the paint.
