'Summer Fields'--------and Sting's' Fields of Gold'

Summer Fields----a textured background with acrylics on stretched canvas.

This is how Summer Fields started. A simple painting,

 using a textured medium as a new approach. I enjoyed the feel

of working with  texture, and the finished painting seemed to have

more depth and interest.

In the studio I kept looking at it and feeling that I wanted

to add something. I liked the colouring and sense of space

but felt there was something missing.

And so Summer Fields becomes this!

I'm happier with it now I think.No longer a fairly empty space.

The background perhaps not as vibrant, but poppies always

seem to give an animation, a cheerfulness,and in spite

of their fragility, their vivid colour provides the vibrancy.

A haze of cornflowers has to belong with a summer field,

a delicately soft romanticism.

Yes----I'm happier with the painting now,

----I feel that it is more alive.

The painting is available.----28"x20" guide price €130

P.S. It reminds me a little of Sting's Fields of Gold.

Thank God for Summer .
