A River's Tale | Richard Rowan

A River's Tale, a gorgeous limited edition giclee print one glass by artist Richard Rowan.

From the fiery horizons of Thailand to the proud roots of the British landscape, the magic of twilight is captured in Richard Rowan’s stunning new Twilight collection.

To recreate the vivid hues, Richard used two different oil paints and his own chemical formula, with timing crucial for blending and applying layers. The colours are more radiant on glass than when they are first squeezed from the tube, as the medium adds its own refractive luminosity. He adds: “With glass naturally responding to changes in light, the paintings will continue to evolve over time.”

Speaking on this piece, Richard says: “As you get deeper into twilight, the world appears darker and darker. I tried to capture this within the golden reflections in the water.”

When painting each artwork, Richard listens to a specific song:

Music: ‘The River’, Ryan Amon, The Sketchbook
