About The Artwork
Springtime is glorious in Richmond Park, Surrey. Mature forest areas erupt with colour, sound and scent. Visitors flock to see the famous Azalea woods. For a brief period Azaleas and Bluebells are flowering together and I have attempted to capture the look and feel of the forest at this time in this large painting. Bright sunlight penetrates all but the densest areas and purples, pinks and yellows stand out against the surrounding greens. Dappled light picks out the surprising tones and hues of the tree trunks and branches. Outcrops of rock poke out from the forest floor. A lone walker is dwarfed by the mature trees as he navigates his way along a trail. The park is in the main a natural environment and a nature reserve, rather than a cultivated and managed garden. One gets the feeling of great history and the endurance of nature.

United Kingdom
My work is primarily figurative – landscapes, portraits and narrative paintings in oil, acrylic and gouache. I never tire of the challenge of rendering a subject in a ‘realistic’ manner whilst at the same time weaving in a story, mood and personality to the piece. In the more narrative compositions, I have attempted to invite the viewer to construct the ‘story’ in their own minds from the content of the picture. My portraits seek by use of pose, composition, colour and tone to give an understanding of the subject’s character beyond the physical likeness. In my landscapes I like to convey the atmosphere and mood of the environment, so the viewer ‘feels’ as much as ‘views’. I work in my garden studio in Kingston on Thames, and my work can be viewed at ricksmithart.webnode.com
