Embracing Colours in Nature

is my newest collection still loving to depict my landscapes, only with a lot of bursts of vibrant colours in an abstract kind of way.
This series seems to complete me as it combines perfectly my love of the natural landscapes as well as my love of colours. As yet, the majority have been created using artist quality Acrylics, as once varnished the colours seem to pop even more.
