Golden Canopy

40" x 30" Acrylic on Canvas

In Golden Canopy, Laycock brings the warmth of autumn to life with a canopy of yellow and orange leaves. The painting invites viewers to experience the gentle light filtering through the trees, illuminating the path below. Laycock’s technique involves applying paint in spontaneous strokes, allowing the colours and textures to evolve naturally.

Riverbend Sentinel

With Riverbend Sentinel, Laycock captures the peacefulness of a riverbank surrounded by lush greenery and rocky formations. His bold brushstrokes and choice of colours create a sense of depth, pulling viewers into the scene as if they are standing on the river’s edge. This piece is a beautiful representation of Laycock’s ability to convey movement and stillness, bringing the Canadian wilderness into focus with a balance of texture and light.

Sparkling Water

24" x 18" Acrylic on Canvas

In Sparkling Water, Laycock depicts a lively cascade flowing over rocks, capturing the energy of moving water. The mix of blues, whites, and earthy tones gives the scene a vibrant feel, as if the water is truly sparkling in the sunlight. Laycock’s approach to layering paint without preliminary drawings adds to the painting’s sense of spontaneity, letting the viewer feel the rush and rhythm of the waterfall.

Sunlit Trail

36" x 24" Acrylic on Canvas

Sunlit Trail presents a scenic forest pathway that beckons viewers to step into the scene. Laycock uses soft greens, yellows, and purples to depict a peaceful walk through the woods, with sunlight filtering through the trees.
