We stood as the wind wrapped over the hills
We stood as the wind wrapped over the hills captures the experience of walking through the vast northern landscape, watching as great banks of cloud billow across the sky, carried by the wind and curling around the distant hills. The immensity of the sky and the far-reaching views create a moment to pause and appreciate that there are still places where a sense of wilderness remains. Autumn brings a particular richness to the land, with russet and golden tones glowing as fleeting shafts of sunlight break through the clouds. The wind is ever-present, shaping the weather and transforming the landscape from one moment to the next.
Built up through layers of oil paint, the richly textured surface captures the movement and energy of the elements. Expressive mark-making and subtle shifts in colour evoke the restless clouds and the changing light across the hills, while delicate touches of gold leaf catch the light, illuminating passages of the land and adding warmth to this expansive, atmospheric scene.
