Oil on Canvas. 18 x 24 inches.
A scene near Ludlow, England. It was such a unique sight that I immediately stopped the car and made a sketch! Won Second Prize in the 2009 Gallery Artists Show "Trees" at the South Shore Arts Center Comment by judge Emily Eveleth: All elbows and knees, the jazzy, exuberant painting "Ivy Climbing on Oak" by Michael Cunliffe Thompson is awarded second prize. Painted with economical means and in high key colors, this work crackles with energy.
