Recently I received a very welcome email. It was from the organisers of The Rotary Art Spectacular 2018 with the good news that Escarpment Shadows has been selected for this year’s Exhibition.
Escarpment Shadows – oil on panel
Two more paintings Afternoon Light – Drakensberg – oil on canvas and Peonies – watercolour on paper were selected for the online exhibition.
The dramatic mountain range creates strong shadows as the sun strikes the ridges. A palette knife was used to apply paint on to the birch panel. A panel is good when working with a thicker application as there is no movement of the substrate which could cause the paint layers to crack. Scraping paint across the firm surface is also very satisfying.
