A walk in the woods, 30" x 40", March 2005, Acrylic on canvas, £400Why are landscape paintings usually longer rather than taller? Why the obsessive need for detail that produces feelings of awe and stadning back from the image rather than the feel of 'being there' and walking into the frame?
Two questions: one answer. Some people love this picture, feeling that it works like an abstract picture or enjoying the feeling produced by the 'rhythm' of the tree trunks. Other people don't like the picture at all. Result!
