Description
New Morning by Jamie Condon - an original acrylic on board.
"Underneath the bridge where the water flowed through
So happy just to be alive
Underneath the sky of blue
On this new morning"
I wanted to depict the joys of a country morning! We moved to a Somerset village a couple of years ago and waking up to the birds singing etc is wonderful. All the images in the picture are based on local landscapes, bridges trees and flowers etc.
Jamie Condon occasionally works in oil but generally use heavy body acrylics, I like the consistency and they dry much faster; this allows me the freedom to work quite quickly and be able to layer paints using brushes and palette knives on top of each other. I nearly always paint on hardboard as I don't like the movement of stretched canvas when I’m trying to do precise work. I prefer the solid nature of the boards.
