Moorlands / Oil on box Canvas

Description

Moorlands Oil on box canvas

A West country landscape with enigmatic atmosphere. Light falls over rolling hills from a brooding sky at dusk illuminating fields and heather. The essence of the English countryside has been expressed in this Wiltshire landscape. Cold blues in the sky give way, eventually to warmer and richer darks in the foreground fields. The whole effect conjures up a wild and slightly untamed landscape. ” I wanted to capture the extraordinary colours that are sometimes seen in the landscape, especially at dusk. Purples and greys struck by ever changing colours and light from the sky. Landscape painting is essentially poetry in paint.”
