Impressions of Andalusia

Recently I have been working from the amazing heat scorched southern landscapes of Andalusia. My compositions are abstracted impressions of elements of the landscape. I paint the rolling views of olive trees and the soil that changes from ochre to white as the midday sun bleaches everything and forms an intense patterned scape framed by blue mountains which as the sun sets and shadows lengthen ,shapes emerge and density of colour is heightened. I am thrilled by the complexity of the rows of olive trees. each tree is delineated by a tiny point receding into the distance which creates an extraordinary design and patchwork effect.
