Paintings from the North Downs at different times of the year.

I love painting the North Downs because there’s always different light to capture through the changing seasons whether it’s in the sky with those gorgeous blue tones or in the subtle reflections in the foreground.

Everyday feels different, especially at certain times of year when the sun sits low or climbs high or struggles even to break through shifting clouds.

Still one of my favourite small paintings: Ochre Sunset

This acrylic painting shows a hazy Autumn sunset with soft yellow and pink clouds in the sky. Bright colours glow on the far horizon, while dark shadows stretch over the green landscape. ‘Ochre Sunset’ captures the brief moment when the sun sets, spreading a light mist over the hills as warm Autumn colours hang in the sky.

Could this become one of your favourites too?
