Rising Mist

On a misty autumn day much like the one outside as I’m typing this, the inspiration for ‘Rising Mist’ struck me. Venturing out for an early morning walk in the copse at the end of my driveway, I encountered a scene shrouded in a soft, ethereal mist. The feeble rays of the sun struggled to penetrate the milky veil of the sky. Everywhere was cast in a serene grey hue. Although I couldn’t spot them through the mist, I knew the hares were out there. Somewhere in the field beyond…

Immerse yourself in the Rising Mist.

Captivated by the tranquil atmosphere, I envisioned capturing this mood in a new painting. Collecting a few fallen leaves, I carefully dried them out and used their veiny undersides as improvised stamps. To these, I applied liberal amounts of paint to create intricate patterns on the canvas. This innovative technique, reminiscent of block printing, added depth and texture to the artwork, imbuing it with a sense of mystery and intrigue.

Rising Mist will add a stunning accent to your space.

In contrast to many of my previous works, which often feature bright, summery colours, ‘Rising Mist’ remains a personal favourite for the evocative mood it conjures, capturing the quiet beauty of a misty autumn morning.
