Oil on a wooden panel, 79 x 51 cm.
Spirits of the Moors
Light rises from the centre like mist lifting off peat, surrounded by deep browns, ochres, and flickers of blue — the palette of moorland under shifting skies. In the lower left, tangled strokes suggest wind-blown undergrowth or the memory of something once rooted. Fine, circling lines drift upward like breath or smoke, dissolving into pale air. Spirits of the Moors is not a place but a presence — a quiet haunting, a felt echo. It speaks to the solitude of Dartmoor, its ancient hush, and the way it holds stories in the land. For collectors drawn to elemental emotion and the poetry of wildness.
I use oil pastels, oil sticks, markers, scrapers, charcoal, pigment sticks, newspaper, and graphite to make marks,s 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
