{"product_id":"by-the-calm-blue-glade","title":"By the Calm Blue Glade","description":"This painting began with an inspiration to create a sense of a serene mystical forest place. Harnessing elements of impressionism I hope to bring to mind a calming scene that invites the viewer to experience nature's peaceful tranquillity at a beautiful time of year. The soft sunlight and suggestion of bluebells weave a tapestry of serenity that will infuse any space with the peaceful energy of a woodland dream full of fresh new leaves and forest flowers.\r\nAn original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on deep edged canvas. I begin with observation of the place making notes and taking photographs to work from in the studio. From these beginnings I work intuitively, painting some base layers with a brush and then impasto techniques layer on layer applied with a palette knife. Harnessing optical mixing techniques employed by the impressionists and some of the methods of the old masters such as scumbling and glazing. I continue working until the painting reaches a natural conclusion. The result is a contemporary painting, which lies somewhere between abstraction and realism. The painting continues round the sides, a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang.","brand":"Amanda Horvath","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55279270756643,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/9401\/5011\/files\/by-the-calm-blue-glade-acrylics-50x50cms_60jes_404658159.jpg?v=1782405545","url":"https:\/\/lovely.art\/products\/by-the-calm-blue-glade","provider":"Lovely.art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
