SOLD -A Moment in Nature

Irish artist Martina Furlong has skillfully brought the landscapes of North Wexford to life in a semi-abstract acrylic painting on wood.

The focal point of the painting is the wild hedge, depicted with a sense of natural wildness and lushness. The tree and bushes that populate the hedge are captured with a semi-abstract flair, giving the viewer the impression of gazing upon a vivid and diverse collection of flora. The hedge is adorned with splashes of baby pink and cerise pink, mimicking the presence of wildflowers in full bloom. These delicate pink hues stand out against the rich greens of the foliage, infusing the scene with a sense of vitality and natural beauty. The top of a mountain is visible through the foliage, creating a sense of depth and distance. The mountain is painted in various shades of blue, capturing the atmospheric perspective as it recedes into the background.

The melding of pink and blue in the sky suggests the magic of twilight, a time when the world takes on a serene and enchanting quality.  The choice of acrylics on wood lends texture and warmth to the artwork, adding depth and character to the piece.
