Oil on Canvas | 18 x 24 inches

‘This painting was inspired by “Paying the Harvesters” by the French naturalist artist Leon Augustin Lhermitte. I knew I wanted to paint and depict every detail but also keep the life in the painting; this was a challenge. Before undertaking this particular piece, I had experienced a very bad spell of painting that lasted for a few months. However, as always, after a plateau, I manage to see a big improvement in my work and this was the piece that showed me I was back on track.’
