About this artwork
"Midwinter Moon" comes from a lovely wood near my home in the High Peak. During the Winter when it's snowy and the moon is full you can walk in the evening and it feels almost as light as day. The wood is quiet with dark tones of the trees creating shadows in the pale moonlight, it is soundless in the snow and the tones appear a delicate blue.
An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on… deep edged canvas. I begin with observation of the place making notes and taking photographs to work from in the studio. From these beginnings I work intuitively, painting some base layers with a brush and then impasto techniques layer on layer applied with a palette knife. Harnessing optical mixing techniques employed by the impressionists and some of the methods of the old masters such as scumbling and glazing. I continue working until the painting reaches a natural conclusion. The result is a contemporary painting.

« My paintings are a response to the natural world and I attempt to capture the peaceful mood of the land and forest. »
Amanda Horvath is an experienced painter from the UK whose landscapes show her reverence for the natural world. Horvath paints to convey a sense of tranquility, capturing the serenity of the forest near her home. She uses various techniques and palette knives to create textured, vibrant, and harmonious scenes that lie somewhere between abstraction and realism. She shows a great attention to light and shadows, and her use of exaggerated colors really heightens the sense of place and season.
