Sweet Briar Nocturne, oil on canvas, 100 x 120 x 2 cm
There is something about that moment when the day softens and everything feels warmer, slower, a little more alive. Sweet Briar Nocturne was inspired by those long summer evenings where the light lingers and the garden seems to glow from within. The roses feel untamed and abundant, spilling and tangling into one another in rich, sun soaked colour.
I wanted this piece to feel immersive, like stepping into a space filled with warmth, connection and quiet joy. The expressive movement of the paint contrasts with more delicate floral details, creating a balance between energy and softness. It holds that feeling of being surrounded by nature at its fullest, when colour, light and atmosphere all come together.
This painting is bold and uplifting, designed to bring a sense of warmth, romance and vibrancy into a space.
