Autumn Lakes II was inspired by the pure yet contrasting relationship between lake and mountain.Painted in November 2021 with acrylic on canvas (81 x 100 cm).

‘Autumn Lakes II was inspired by the pure yet contrasting relationship between lake and mountain. The rough, ever-changing nature of the hillside against the still, deep patience of the water. I evoked the vibrant transient bracken and lichens on the rocks of the mountains with a dancing orange and yellow.The deep blue-black gives the sense of peace and continuity from the lakes, painted with thick, long strokes the texture adds depth to the colour block. Painted free-hand, the rough edge of the orange/yellow border contrasts with the smooth guided-line of the blue-black.’
