"Weaving Through the Night", oils on canvas, Laura Gibbons
A Glimpse into the Ethereal Beauty of the Natural World
Working mainly with oils on canvas I love to create semi realistic images and portraits of animals and birds with a mythical feel, allowing a glimpse into the ethereal beauty of the natural world.
I have always had a fascination for the natural world and an interest in folklore and mythology. As time has progressed I have found that my work has begun to take on an ethereal quality the reflects both my love of nature and my curiosity in legend.
I like to paint every day animals, tiny birds such as sparrows, but in a setting of decadent colours and mysticism, as well as exploring the beauty of the animals more traditionally thought of as exotic.
For me there is as much splendour in a pigeons plumage as a tigers stripes, it's just a bit harder to see sometimes.
