About the artwork

Large Original Oil Painting on Stretched Canvas by UK Artist, James Brunt. Description: "Silver Lining" Hand-painted on a large 100 x 100 cm canvas, this painting was initially created and chosen from one of my smaller paper studies to transfer on a larger canvas. Inspired by the warm, hopeful glimmer of the sun breaking through the cold wintery clouds, I focused on bright winter sunlight breaking through the side of a single cloud-mass over a rural UK lakeside. My aim was to create the illusion of sunlight scattering through, and bouncing off the insides of the larger semi-transparent cloud. I tried to achieve this by painting layers of warm and cool colours, overlapping in very thin layers of oil paint and medium. I used a muted scaled palette on the beginning stages of this painting, using a high-chromatic palette during the later stages to highlight the bright bold colours. This painting consists primarily of shades of cobalt blue, cerulean blue, warm & cool whites, mid-tone purple greys, warm muted greens, browns and warmer orange, yellow and pink/peach tones. Canvas sides have been left white. Size: Large 100 x 100 cm (39.5" x 39.5"). Surface: Stretched Canvas. Date created: December 2022. Hand-Signed: Yes.
