oil on a wooden panel 61x61X5cm
The Moor Captivates — a reflection on Dartmoor’s quiet strength and the unseen threads that bind its landscape.
A pale, textured field holds two delicate clusters—one rising in the upper left, the other resting in the lower right—linked by fine, flowing lines that drift like mist across moorland. The forms, rendered in earthy browns, greens, yellows, and soft reds, evoke tendrils, roots, or wind-stirred bracken. There’s a sense of quiet movement, of something ancient and alive threading through the land.
This painting captures Dartmoor not through topography, but through feeling: the hush between tors, the slow unfolding of light, the invisible connections that shape the terrain and memory alike. It’s a meditation on presence and passage, on how things hold together across distance.
For collectors, this work offers a contemplative abstraction grounded in place. It’s ideal for those drawn to subtlety, emotional depth, and poetic minimalism.

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