Charcoal and acrylic on prepared linen - begun in 2017 but after numerous intervening studies and many false finishes, finally . . . in October 2022, done!
Living in an isolated cottage in the middle of the huge forest at Thetford, Norfolk in 1971 was a thrilling experience. My passion for woodlands is still with me and, in recent years, trees have become central to a good deal of my painting and drawing. 'Siding' (v) depicts birch and ash regeneration in the harsh environment of abandoned railway lines. In this painting I am enjoying exploring the wonderful relentlessness of the natural world.
