About the artwork
“Never are voices so beautiful as on a winter's evening, when dusk almost hides the body, and they seem to issue from nothingness with a note of intimacy seldom heard by day.” Virginia Woolf (Night and Day) This quote from Virginia Woolf's Night and Day novel describes beautifully the feeling that I wanted to capture in this painting. That time of day when nature turns both us and our surroundings into abstracts as it turns down the light. Shapes distort, colours fade only flashes of angles appear highlighted in the twilight shades of fading light and sunset tones. The voice however and feelings take on a strengthened presence as the visual stimulation diminishes and becomes muted, they become in contrast stronger. The canvases I use are personally stretched by me using a high quality heavy weight cotton canvas, which then is primed with three coats of gesso. This ensures a more substantial and durable canvas stretcher than the off the shelf canvases. I use high quality artist materials to paint with and once a painting is complete I add a coat or two of UV varnish to protect the artwork against UV light and dust. MEDIUM: Acrylic paint on stretched canvas. DIMENSIONS: • Height : 40 inches (101.5 cm) • Width : 40 inches (101.5 cm) • Depth : .5 inches (1.8 cm) Sides painted as part of the painting. READY TO HANG: All canvases are fitted with sawtooth hangers to enable easy hanging (shown in image).Twilight

Like many artists I have always been a maker of things, a passionate scribbler from an early age and a lifelong experimenter with anything and everything that comes to hand, never happy with clean hands or unspoilt clothes. I have a degree in fine art and a masters degree in creative multimedia and love to create imagery in both traditional and digital formats and sometimes a melding of both together. I love both painting and printmaking, and I enjoy both abstraction and figurative art, I create as the spirit takes me.
