Descriptions:
Sunlit Path invites the viewer into a luminous woodland passage shaped through oil and cold wax on canvas. Layered textures and expressive marks create depth and movement, allowing light to filter through dense foliage and guide the eye forward. Rich greens, golds, and hints of violet suggest growth, renewal, and quiet discovery, while the softened edges evoke a dreamlike atmosphere rather than a fixed place.
The path becomes a symbol of reflection and forward motion, offering collectors a work that feels immersive, hopeful, and grounded in nature’s quiet rhythm. This original painting brings warmth, color, and a sense of gentle exploration to any space.

About The Artwork
expand_more
There are many beautiful walks near my home in Kent and this painting was inspired by one of them. Oil and cold wax medium was applied in layers to build up body and depth of colous. Then using a variety of implements, I scratched into the surface to create exciting textural effects. Further layers of paint were applied to create the sparkle of light shining through the trees.
