A Winter Path
Size 76 H x 55,5 W cm.
Handmade Soft Pastels on 300 g cotton paper.
Inspired by the beauty of nature at twilight, when all has quiet down and are painted in blue light. The trees provide shelter and embrace this peaceful path through the glenn.
This artwork is created in soft pastels on 300 g cotton paper with 4 deckle edges. It has a delicate surface and needs the protection of glass, its is sold unframed. It ships flat packed in a box, or it can be picked up in my studio.
I'm drawn to untouched nature, and like to use abstract landscapes to express moods and emotions, it is not site specific landscapes but more the essence of an experience expressed via a landscape.
I prefer to work in pastels. Working with colored dust reminds me that the traces left behind should be soft and impermanent, something we seem to completely forget these days. We are here together for a little while, just visitors. The traces we leave behind must be of a different nature than what destroys the nature around us. I like to keep this quote from the Anglican Church's Liturgical Handbook in mind "Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust" It's a humble reminder that gives me a perspective and presence of mind I appreciate.
