About this artwork

Summer Vibrates is a colourful semi-abstract landscape oil painting of a summer meadow and a swallow. It is 24x18x1.5. It is art nouveau and semi abstract in style and very vibrant in colour. A swallow is swooping over the meadow and below her there are fields of wheat with wild flowers edging the fields. It was inspired by swallow watching over a field near where I live. There is a shallow valley where in summer heat haze the swallows gather insects over the flowers and wheat fields. This little painting sums up a specific happy moment for me from August a few years ago. It is part of a series of paintings that try to capture the exuberance of Sussex fields and farmland in the summertime. Swallows feature often in my paintings as they are quite simply beautiful little birds and are only in the UK for the summer so it is a happy thing to see them. The painting is ready to hang, has white edges and does not need a frame. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GLBLmbRgXk
