Mixed media on art board
 
This is a painting of fields seen from the train on my last journey before lockdown in Spring 2020. I love the Suffolk countryside and have done many pictures of the fields through the different seasons. I love taking photographs and making quick sketches from the train window. The unorthodox methodology gives my artworks a dynamic quality – big fields and big sky rushing past.
 
Here, I have used mixed media, including wax resist, on art board. The wax resist gives a lovely textured look to the sky. In this picture I convey a sense of unease at the impending corona pandemic, but in contrast I can still celebrate the beauty of the spring hedgerows.
 
The painting is size A3. 30 x 42 cm.
