How does a painting happen?
It takes more time conceiving it, thinking about it and visualising it than the act of painting itself. The bubbling idea was to paint more rivers, after having painted River Wharf from Wetherby, Yorkshire and River Seine from Giverny, France. I love painting water you see, and the reflections of nature in it.
But on one of these walks during the lockdown, one spring evening on my way to Dunham Massey the evening sun was peeping through the leaves. The plum, pink, lime, green and lime yellow coloured leaves drenched in sunlight looked amazing, refracting light through them. Light and nature. Light on nature/leaves and through them can be magical to look at. This is the very first study of this subject. I really should either climb the trees or use binoculars to see them up close to have a better idea of how to use the colour and the brush strokes.
This is a square 16x16 inch canvas done in acrylic colours. August Renoir, the french impressionist, was the master of painting thin layers of paint one on top of another to gain the true effect of light. The same method apparently was used by Leonardo Da Vinci when painting Mona Lisa - Layers of thin translucent paint, one on top of another.
