A collector recently acquired this large-scale painting, distinguished by its rich, textured surface created with oil and cold wax. The piece was featured at the Darryl Nantais Gallery in Linton during the Winter Exhibition 2023/24.

Close-up images are included to showcase the intricate surface created by cold wax and oil impasto. The vertical rhythm of the trees is echoed in the swirling textures. The artwork was crafted using a variety of tools, such as palette knives, rollers, and printing techniques with paper and card. Additionally, oil paint thinned with turpentine was poured and trailed across the canvas to simulate natural growth effects.
