Sunny Afternoon Oil on Wooden Panel 30cm x 40cm or 12 inches x 16 inches. I thought it was about time that I gave my obsession with gardens expression in oil paints. I wasn't entirely sure that the medium would suit the subject, or if I could make it work. However I am pleased with the result, it seems to have the presence of a sunny afternoon, slightly too hot and verging on being oppressive. The shade is inky and deep and there is a still quiet, just a few bees buzzing... "sipping at my ice cold beer, lazing on a sunny afternoon" |

Your garden is quite lovely in oil! I love the heat of it. My garden is quite hot, too. Staying inside in the cool studio until it cools down a bit!
This def works Sarah. I always think light and shadows such as those here make a painting work very well. I can imagine myself sitting here, head in the shade, that beer in one hand, and desperately trying to tan my white, English legs in the sun...! Great stuff, well done!
I only wonder if we should take this as an invitation, ... ??
It's such an invitation to take a seat.
Lovely, you could sit there the whole summer with some nice art-books.
Congratulations!
Yup, I agree, it works in oils and probably the paint texture adds to the impression of the cloying heat of a summer's afternoon. Great stuff!
Beautiful piece Sarah. You've gotten that mix of light and contrast perfectly and it spells heat.
it works well in oil, it looks beautiful. I had a look at some of your other works, and i love the watercolour of the bucket on the previous post too, it is wonderful.
love your work
I love the sun dappled effect! Nicely done.
