Nature Weaves a Spell is a very large oil on canvas painting in abstract vs realism style of kingfishers and by a river. It is 71x47x2 inches (181x120x5cms). Two kingfishers can be seen above the river which flows towards us from the left out of a lake. The female kingfisher is hovering and looks towards the male who is about to dive into the water. In the distance you can see hills and trees whilst in the foreground are the birds and an abundance of wildflowers on each side of the river. They hint at being the pink Himalayan Balsom plants you often see along English rivers and streams. Multiple layers of transparent rainbow paint have been used to reflect a myriad of glowing vibrant colours. The golden yellow layer looks as if it is ripping apart to reveal the landscape behind it. The kingfishers are painted in fine detail but with the motion of the wings being slightly blurred to show the energy and motion as well as the physical details of their anatomy. The interplay of abstract and realism gives this painting a magical, ethereal and spell binding quality. The canvas is an extra strong gallery quality aluminium frame one. The edges are wide meaning framing not necessary and the edges are painted dark green. It is ready to hang and comes with a certificate of authenticity from the artist.
