Transform your space with this stunning large canvas impressionist painting.
I’m always drawn to how the light falls at different times of the day and the unique colours in both the sky and on the landscape below and this impressionist sunrise painting really captures that.
Capturing the essence of a rural English landscape through colour, light and mark-making.
The series explores the changing light on the landscape at different times of day and across the seasons showing how light can vary so dramatically and celebrating the challenge of capturing its fleeting beauty.
Molten Sunset is still one of my favourite landscape paintings
I loved painting this 40 × 40 cm canvas. With my favourite music on, I used one brush, rarely lifting or washing it. The continuous, intuitive method produced a beautiful atmospheric abstract painting with just a touch of impressionism.
Take a look at this beautiful impressionist painting: Evening Radiance

This painting carries a strong sense of movement in the sky, the gorgeous peachy tones rising and blending into the blue and grey, with just the faint glimmer of the day still lingering.

Just reminiscing about this painting: Breaking Dawn
Just reminiscing about this painting ‘Breaking Dawn’ which was one of my first acrylics after switching over from pastels although both mediums still retain that soft, blended style I love.
My large impressionist canvas paintings
My large stretched canvas acrylic landscape paintings are primarily impressionist in style although I often introduce the occasional abstract touch to add texture, energy and shadows to the light.
This stunning impressionist painting showing the beauty of the evening light.
Just as the sun dipped below the horizon its orb merged into an orange glow lifting the red peachy clouds into the soft blues and greys in the sky, whilst the landscape melted into the shadows.
Could this painting be yours………?
Impressionist painting with blended tones and soft subtler brushstrokes.
I painted this after waking very early one morning and watching how quietly the dawn evolved, each subtle shift in colour in the air interpreted in the brushstrokes and the quiet and cool light evolving the palette resulting in a rhythm in the painting.
A beautiful landscape impressionist painting, ideal for any space.
Imagine this stunning and beautiful sunset landscape painting gracing the wall of your home or office creating light and atmosphere and a constant glow that you will never tire of viewing every day.
