Australia is a truly amazing and remarkable country with some of the most spectacular views and scenery to be found in the world. Beautiful sunsets are a frequent phenomenon and are so striking that it is impossible for them to be taken for granted. During a recent visit however, the weather was unseasonal and a little disappointing, colder than usual for the time of year and lacking evenings graced with magnificent sunsets. Given the circumstances I felt I had no option but to paint a landscape scene which is intended to convey a little of the sheer magic and magnificence of a beautiful summer sunset.
I am a British contemporary fine artist creating powerful acrylic paintings inspired by the interaction of light, colour, and perspective in natural and urban landscapes. I am fascinated by nature enjoying woodland, fell and moorland walking which provide a wealth of inspiration for my painting. For me having the time to stop, look and fully appreciate all the wonders of nature –the wildlife, trees and flowers and the interaction of colours and light – is a remarkable gift. I regularly visit family in Italy and Australia both beautiful countries full of artistic inspiration – some of the most spectacular sunsets, landscapes, and seascapes you will see anywhere in the world. My primary medium is acrylics, and I am a member of the Altrincham Society of Artists and the Visual Artists Association. I sign my artwork Iannello, my mother’s maiden name in her memory.
