Blooming Field

A white dress in a gorse field, the sky doing all the weight behind her. Bright against the storm, soft against the bloom. Her stillness lets the wind move through everything else.

An original watercolour figure piece on 100% cellulose paper. Yellow gorse, bare moor, a low brooding sky — the kind of pastoral setting English landscape painting has returned to for two centuries. The figure carries the warmth; the gorse holds it at her feet; the cloud overhead keeps the whole scene weighted toward the elemental.
