An original oil painting with gold leaf by Sophie Berger. This painting was inspired by evening walks in early Summer. Warm light touching the long grasses on Dartmoor and an orange sun beaming through soft clouds inspired this piece. Sophie sketches in situ and then takes her studies back to the studio where she paints in oils on canvas. Oil paint give this painting a richness and intensity. It is made up of many thin layers, giving it depth and movement. The gold leaf reflects natural light mimicking the sun. This is a soft and ethereal painting with a deep energy.

New original artwork by artist, Sophie Berger is available with Wychwood Art in their gallery and online. Sophie Berger's recent work has been greatly influenced by her move to Devon and a new found love of the Dartmoor. She often sketches on the north moors and in Skaigh woods, taking in the mood of the sky, rolling hills and streams or concentrating on the intricate twisted branches and roots of the bracken. Sophie Berger's next stage is to recapture these sketches using oil paint when back at the studio in Kigbeare, thereby creating a strong connection between her work and the landscape. The changeable, moody landscapes awash with colour, horizons and the vast openness have inspired artist Sophie Berger to explore the feeling of being in this environment, so to describe these works as landscapes would be to miss the essence of the places they strive to capture.
