Over the Ridge III

This series, 'Over the Ridge I, II, and III,' captures the quiet drama of a landscape as a storm approaches. Each small (25x25cm) mixed media painting, created with acrylics, oil pastels, and pencil, offers a glimpse into rolling hills beneath a vast sky filled with gathering clouds.
The mood is gentle, yet there's a definite sense of something powerful on the horizon. The hills are brought to life with a palette of browns, ochres, greys, and blacks, punctuated by subtle pops of crisp white and deep crimson, while the sky is a study in atmospheric greys and whites.
Designed to work beautifully as a triptych, these pieces also stand strong individually, allowing you to arrange them to suit your space. Each painting comes on canvas with a hanging wire on the back, ready to bring a touch of contemplative nature and shifting weather into your home.

Comes with painted sides on stretched canvas and is ready to hang with a wire across the back.

artist statement
I like to create uplifting and happy art full of vitality to lift the spirit and make everyone feel comfortable. Interest is added through detailed line work, dots, dashes, hatches and patterns. These details keep the viewer engaged and lead on a journey of discovery in my paintings. For this reason, crisp, hard-edge lines, purposefully placed shapes and carefully constructed colour palettes are hallmarks of my work.
I use my passion for bright colour schemes to express vigour and positive energy. I also create paintings that use soft colours to convey delight and bliss. I find painting is an almost meditative process where I can slow down, relax and reconnect with nature.
