About this painting: 'Lithe' is a small oil painting on deep profile canvas, painted on a breezy day in the meadow. With the afternoon light dappling through the trees, the grasses move in the summer air, banding & swaying. warm tones of ambers, greens & yellows contrast with a treeline in deep maroon & purple.

This little canvas had been knocking around my studio for a year or so & been through about 4 separate incarnations of meadow, which I wasn't quite happy with. Then, while painting on the terrace a wind started moving the grasses on the top of the bank & i was compelled to go & sit in the grass , with the canvas & just respond directly to the moving grasses. 

The dotted buttercups & cuckoo flowers made little punctuations amongst the grass. Finally it came together & the grasses graceful lithe dance ended up on the canvas.

At 30cm square this little pop of summer will bring a sense of lightness to any small space.
