Picture of the Month: May

Grey Road Over the Moor

Acrylic and mixed media on board. 24 by 13 inches ( 61 by 33 cm).

Last Summer I spent a week in the Yorkshire Dales. The scenery is uncompromising and dramatic, a weathered landscape of bogs, moors, lone trees, sheep and cloud. I did a number of sketches while sitting in the landscape and dodging the showers. I have since done a number of studio pieces trying to catch the drama I felt at the time. The scene depicted was of the road across the moor disappearing into the distance. The fields in the mid-distance were lit momentarily by the sun and were a bright citrus green. Clouds raced over the far hills which were alternately brightly lit by the sun or obscured by cloud.

I have used fine gauze in the central section of the art piece to add textural interest. I have experimented with tipping, spluttering and dripping acrylic ink onto the painting to give a less finished feel to my painting.
