Autumn over the Saltmarsh
£240.00
- Contradicting traditional landscape art, this creation immerses viewers in a chaotic mix of natural and abstract elements. The rugged, textured strokes create a fragmented experience of depth, suggesting an evolving landscape that feels both familiar and disjointed. Wisps of muted grays and browns collide with bursts of fiery oranges and yellows, presenting a turbulent manifestation of seasons in flux. The space feels dense and layered, with every glance revealing more intricacies amid the apparent confusion. As you consider the multiple perspectives and interpret the scene’s complexity, ponder how the unpredictable arrangement influences your perception of nature's pulse.
- The carriage driveway on the Sharpham Estate is a walk that I have continued to enjoy over the years. The view over looking the reed beds at Sharpham Marsh, means a lot to me.
- The tree lines have changed as a result of storms coming in from the Atlantic, even in the last couple of years I have seen and drawn as well as painted the effects of climate change.
- I have been involved with the environmental the saltmarsh project https://bioregion.org.uk/project/thesaltmarshproject/ I am keen to support the vital role that the marsh has in carbon capture and storage. The river Dart flows down to the sea at Dartmouth. The original drawing is made on watercolour board using found natural, site specific pigments that are augmented with pastel and other materials from my studio. I have shown here the working process along with some little studies made on other visits.
