Painted over the course of four days in the August heatwave, I specifically used a colour palette favoured to bright light and the associated intense colours, which the famous artist Joachim Sorolla used. The result is a painting which focuses on the colour contrasts between the shades of green and blue in the shaded areas, and the hot, yellow light which penetrates the scene.
The composition is based around four triangles which intersect in the rising walkway of Royal Parade: the upper green triangle of the foliage, the two narrower triangles left and right showing the wider scene, and the bottom sunlit triangle of the path and grass.
This painting is another development of my reductionist process, wiping and removing paint to create more realistic movement and feeling in the painting, especially in the softly swaying leaves in the trees.
This painting is oil and canvas and measures 80x40cm unframed.
