Jeff Rowland - A Lovers Stroll

Autumn is always a very special time of the year, and is symbolised by the changing colours in nature. I am lucky enough to live near a wooded area and took some time out to look at the effects of autumn on the landscape as inspiration for my
autumnal paintings. This composition is set in a forest showing all of the colours of autumn. This meant that I would have to take a different approach to my use of colour; my palette is usually one of grey and blue, but this time I have chosen to use warmer tones. The composition has a couple walking together through woods in falling rain, and I am showing that despite a change of colour, it is still possible to portray the romantic cinematic genre of film noir.
