{"product_id":"sapphire-gold-forest-impressions","title":"Sapphire Gold Forest Impressions","description":"This serene painting is an interpretation of a forest inspired by nature. The expressive brushstrokes capture the dance of light through a canopy of leaves, cascading warmth onto a mosaic carpet of turquoise, gold and copper. Evoking the tranquillity of nature, this piece is a nostalgic view of a lovely forest, with a touch of fantasy and a sense of peace.\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 carefully laden strokes with the palette knife create an effect which has been described as similar to a stained glass window or mosaic. For shipping overseas, the painting will need to be taken off the stretcher and rolled into a tube, on receiving the painting it will need to be restretched onto a wooden frame.","brand":"Amanda Horvath","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55436317589795,"sku":null,"price":1595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/9401\/5011\/files\/sapphire-gold-forest-impressions_yahff_1635661391.jpg?v=1786111747","url":"https:\/\/lovely.art\/products\/sapphire-gold-forest-impressions","provider":"Lovely.art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
