KENNETH WEBB | La Forêt Deco

10" x 12" / 26.5 x 30.5 cms
Oil on Canvas
 
The poppy continues to delight Kenneth and is a recurrent theme in his recent paintings. Whether the poppies are in a wildflower meadow, nestled amongst rocks from Kenneth’s Ballina boy Garden or silhouetted against a vivid Irish sky, he is constantly drawn to the enduring challenge of capturing their simplicity of form in his bold, textured brushstrokes and palette knife swathes of colour. In this painting Kenneth used poppies to frame the bottom of the forest scene. Kenneth's use of light in this painting has created the canopy of leaves, rather than painting them individually.
