Myth and Moor and More!
veil of mystery
“Abstract painting with deep earthy reds and oranges at the bottom blending into pale cream and soft blue above, crossed by thin blue and orange lines suggesting movement across a moorland-inspired landscape.” by ashar

Oil on a wooden panel, 76x76cm.
Vail of Mystery
From the Dartmoor series
A quiet force moves through Vail of Mystery, where the land seems to breathe beneath a veil of shifting light. The lower half pulses with deep, earthen reds and burnt orange—like ancient soil warmed by memory—while the upper portion dissolves into pale blue and cream, evoking mist lifting from moorland at dawn. Vein-like lines in blue and amber traverse the canvas, suggesting hidden paths, watercourses, or emotional fault lines. This piece invites contemplation rather than resolution, holding space for the unknown and the half-remembered. It is Dartmoor not as geography, but as a threshold—between seen and unseen, presence and absence.

Do you hear them? The witches that whisper in the woods. Do you see them? The birds that gather on the top of the church. Can you touch them? The omens that make up your future. Trista Edwards

I use oil pastels, oil sticks, markers, scrapers, charcoal, pigment sticks, newspaper, and graphite to make marks, whichever fits the moment
UV protected, signed on the back. The work is on a plywood panel and is ready to hang. No further framing is needed
