The scene is the Norwegian Lapland. When I first saw this scene in an encyclopedia I recognised it at once, or the feeling it evoked even though I have never visited Norway. The title is a line from the cult 1980's movie "Withnail & I".
Geoff Harrison 49 artworks | 4 Sold Follow Contact Geoff Painting for me is a journey of inner discovery and I’m constantly pushing myself to the limit to achieve this. It’s always about the light, with the viewer being enticed to enter these scenes and explore the atmosphere in them. Cool colours are preferred as they create a sense of depth in the work. At the moment my paintings cover 3 themes; Expanse – where I depict vast open spaces. I enjoy the challenge of creating depth. Seclusion – here I explore the consoling and recuperative powers of Melbourne’s Royal Botanical Gardens. Interiors - the psychology of interior spaces. I prefer working with oils as I enjoy the texture and illusionistic qualities of that medium.
