Glen Nant is a small nature reserve in Argyll, Scotland. Gentle walks reward you with views of unspoilt natural forest. At the foot of the valley flows a peaceful shallow stream. It is a wonderful place to sit and rest. The only sounds are birdsong and the gentle bubbling of the stream over its rocky floor. The west of Scotland is never short of rain and thick, lush green vegetation abounds. I thought the peaceful and unspoilt environment was quite magical, and have tried to give a sense of that in this painting. Acrylic paint was the ideal choice for this picture because of the possibility to mix bright and rich colours, used as thick body colour or translucent glazes. Later I added a female figure paddling in the shallow water. If Wood Nymphs were real, surely this is the sort of place where they would be found?

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
