On the Banks of the Ouvèze River III Print
I’d like to invite you to take a walk with me along the banks of the Ouvèze river in spring. The trees are bursting forth with new life in wonderful vibrant greens. On previous days, it has rained and the river is now swollen and full, but on this beautiful evening, limpid and oh so quiet. The setting sun’s light is filtering through the foliage in dapples and sunbursts. The trees stand in blue violet shadows. And, in the dark recesses of the river’s bend, golden beams of sunlight stand out against the darkness. The reflection of undergrowth and trees in the water mingle with the filtered light. The undulating water creates wonderful fractured abstract shapes and then, when the water stills, it reforms a world mirrored. These parts of the river are magical, overgrown and sheltered. The greens, deep and rich. They seem to take us into a void. This sight drew me to make the painting. This Acrylic on canvas is ready to hang. Framing is not required. All my paintings are varnished to add a protective coat against dust. Only the highest quality archival fine art grade acrylic paint is used on the surface gessoed and prepared by myself. Packing: all work is packed professionally using protective compressed foam boards 2 cm deep so that your painting arrives safely. Thank you for taking the time to look at my work. A statement on why I make Art: How can I make tangible on a paint surface a world that is full of magic and poetry? My finished pieces do not mirror a subject matter but are a representation of emotions felt in a specific time or place. Often the fleeting effect of a particular light and colour in nature are held somewhere in my visual memory. At some point, this takes centre stage on the painting I am working on. It may appear during the process of creation without an obvious connection to the subject matter at hand and yet, it adds another dimension, a particular atmosphere. These processes are ways and means by which I express my connection to nature in all its richness and variety. I moved from Ireland to France to create a new body of work with the regular discipline of painting small oil studies on panel. These inform larger landscapes, still lifes and abstract works. I hold a Bachelor Degree in Fine Art (BFA). My work is in collections in France, the USA, Great Britain and Ireland. Education. Fine Art Degree in Painting. 1987-1989 Foundation Art course - Birmingham Polytechnic- Distinction 1989 - 1992 Cheltenham College of Art.- 2:1 with first in Art History with commendation

The dialogue was also quite weak and seemed forced at times. Overall, I struggled to connect with the story and found myself losing interest halfway through. It's unfortunate because the concept had potential, but the execution fell flat for me."

It didn't live up to the hype for me, and I wouldn't read it again."
4. Emma - 3/5 - "While 'Magic tree ouv' had some interesting ideas, I struggled to fully enjoy it. The writing style was overly descriptive and felt heavy-handed, making it difficult to become immersed in the story. The pacing was also a bit uneven, with slow sections that dragged on too long. While there were moments of intrigue, overall, it didn't captivate me like I had hoped."

The lack of cohesion made it difficult to follow and invest in the story. Additionally, I found some of the characters irritating and their actions didn't always make sense. It just wasn't a book that resonated with me."
