Original artwork description:

Yellow Slopes
Original Oil Painting
16 x 12 inches

I have spent a lot of lonely time on the sphagnum moors, seeing them in every season. I allowed the qualities of the mosses and boggy upland wetlands to seep into me and later in the studio begin to paint, setting up a framework of marks to begin with which then form a new landscape on the canvas, with its own rules and rhythms. I aim to work with these elements on the canvas in a way the resonates with the forces I have been interacting with, the flow of the water, the trickling source of a river, the waving grasses and cotton grass flowers, the internal systems that are holding water and carbon that have been set up within this small patch of land over millennia.
The painting is on sized and primed handmade heavy weight 350 GSM watercolour paper which is as strong and thick as card

My landscape paintings are drawn from field notes in which I quickly sketched and wrote my impressions of a very particular time in a specific place. Later these sketches and words formed the basis of paintings.

The painting is varnished with layers of gloss varnish for protection and to enhance the depth of colour.
