Solas Álainn / A beautiful light
Original Painting
Medium: Palette knife acrylic painting on canvas.
Size: 20”x 16”
I titled this painting, Solas Álainn, because the stark spring light was what really struck me about this particular visit to this wonderful recreation area. Although it was chilly, the place was buzzing with families enjoying the March sunshine. This was just one of many trees where the light seemed to highlight the bark, in a way that appeared to bleach the timber in the light, against the shadows so dark and defined.
