Original artwork description:

Deep, layered and constantly changing skies over slim, almost fragile, windmills...

These windmills generate the clean energy and sunny spells you are happy to breathe in with the fresh chilly air. Every day, during my long walks with my faithful friend spaniel, I am admiring the clean horizon line with white, like seagulls, windmills. Their beauty is keeping my gaze and turning my head over and over again. 6 years ago, I have moved from the city to the small village on the outskirts of Cambridge in East Anglia. It took me 5 years to open my eyes and see the beauty of this place thanks to lockdown. I found dozens of walks around and this one is the perfect place where the sun rises in the morning and highlighting its favourite spots. At the end of each walk my thoughts, the same as this painting, are filled with hope, light and clean energy.

I have used the acrylic underpainting to capture the atmosphere of the moment with creamy Sennelier oil pastel strokes on top.
