Pilgrim’s Rest

Among the earliest entries in our collection, ‘The Pilgrims‘, held pivotal significance in shaping subsequent artworks’ themes and aesthetics. After a series of ambitious paintings, Ann took a moment to reflect on the journey thus far. Revisiting an early work to ‘see how they were getting on’ seemed fitting. Thus, ‘Pilgrims Rest…’ emerged, a return to familiar characters.

In this wintry scene, our heroes find themselves on an exposed hillside, yet enjoy spiritual protection. The Hare tends to camp, and instead of a roaring fire, a magical lamp illuminates the scene. Fireflies dance around it, an enchanting sight amidst the snow and clouds. An old Celtic Knot etched into living rock adds mystique, reminiscent of ‘Pearls of Wisdom’. An Owl watches over, ensuring all is well.

Pilgrims Rest will add a stunning accent to your space.

Beneath the lamp, glowing Anglo-Saxon runes bear an excerpt from John Bunyan’s ‘The Pilgrim’s Progress’. Its message encourages perseverance on the righteous path, resonating with the painting’s essence.

This unique artwork, ‘Pilgrims Rest…’, invites contemplation. Its intricate details and layered symbolism offer depth and intrigue, enhancing the viewer’s experience. This enchanting piece becomes a focal point within any collection, sparking conversations with its inherent allure and unparalleled artistry.

Throughout my journey as an artist, I’ve tried various surfaces & colours… From acrylics on boxed canvas to the refined oils on board I now employ. Each combination wields a distinct influence over the final outcome. Canvas imbues a rustic charm, its weave adding texture. For intricate details, only oil on board suffices, offering subtle nuances and unmatched ability to blend.

Yet, my attention extends beyond the artwork itself; the frames for Original Artworks hold equal significance. Through experience, I’ve learnt how a well-selected frame can elevate a piece, sometimes even reshaping its interpretation. Every choice, from canvas to frame, is a deliberate step towards crafting not just art, but an experience.
