Wet day in the woods, Dartington.
Fragments of muted hues and soft, textured strokes create a compelling visual narrative. The colors interact yet maintain distinct boundaries, revealing layers of complexity. Utilizing a mix of earthy tones and delicate whites, it suggests a calm, introspective atmosphere. The swirling patterns and changing lines guide the viewer's gaze through a landscape of abstract forms, indicating movement and stillness simultaneously. In the future, this work may be noted as a visionary reinterpretation of natural landscapes, portraying the essence of fleeting moments within a contemporary framework. It occupies the intersection of abstract expressionism and modern minimalism, offering new perspectives on familiar sceneries.
An autumn day wrapped up in waterproofs with trusted pastels and some charcoal, in rained off and on there was just the sound of the seasons.
I started on this using found pigments and that worked into the surface. I do look forward to returning to previously visited sites to record the changes, like greeting a friend after many years.
