Purple Cheddar - acrylic painting on canvas

Description

As the title may suggest, this painting was inspired by a recent visit to Cheddar, Somerset. There was a beautiful tree by the river there. Of course, the sky isn't purple in Somerset or anywhere else. Maybe it should be.

I've used a mixture of acrylic paints, on a canvas measuring 12cm (7") high by 18cm (5") wide, to create this gothic artwork. I blended shades of purple with white to create the sky, then painted black over this to create the big old tree. The colours of the sky (although not of the tree) continue over the sides of the small canvas on which this is painted, to give one continuous block of colour. Meaning that this painting does not need to be framed. It does not, however, come ready to hang, but I can add hanging wire to the back if you wish, for no extra cost.

Thanks for taking the time to view this painting. If you like the style of my work, but would like something different, I am happy to accept commissions. Also, please visit http://sneddoniadesigns.deviantart.com for my on-line gallery.
