Original artwork description:

"A Scattering of Ashes 2" is a captivating acrylic on canvas that measures 70x70 cm, offering an intricate aerial view of a landscape transformed into a vibrant mosaic.
This piece captures a bird's-eye perspective of a rural setting, where fields stretch across the canvas like an elaborate patchwork quilt.
Boldly outlined by subtle grey lines that depict roads and paths, the fields come alive with a rich palette of greens, yellows, and browns, highlighting the diverse textures and colours of the countryside.

What sets this artwork apart is its aerial perspective, a technique that offers a fresh angle on the familiar world below.
Inspired by flights over the East Midlands, the painting captures the essence of seeing the land from above—a perspective that transforms ordinary fields into a mesmerizing tapestry of form and colour.

This artwork transcends a mere depiction of farmland; it is an invitation to inhabit a unique vantage point where one can appreciate the harmony and complexity of the earth's surface. Through this lens, the routine landscape is elevated to something profound, encouraging reflection on the intricate beauty that lies beneath our feet, often hidden yet persistently vibrant.
