oil on a wooden panel 50x50X5cm
Take Care is a tender abstraction rooted in Dartmoor’s quiet intensity. Two intricate clusters—one low and one high—are connected by a fine, meandering line that threads across a pale, spacious field. The forms, rendered in reds, greens, yellows, and oranges, resemble tangled roots or neural pathways, evoking both natural growth and emotional complexity.
This painting speaks to the delicate act of attention—how we trace connection across distance, how care moves through unseen channels. The title suggests both a gesture and a warning: to tread gently, to remain attuned. The composition mirrors Dartmoor’s own dual nature—wild yet intimate, expansive yet deeply personal.
For collectors, Take Care offers a contemplative balance of minimalism and expressive detail. It’s a piece that invites reflection on connection, vulnerability, and the quiet power of place. Ideal for collections that value poetic abstraction and emotional resonance.

I use oil pastels, oil sticks, markers, scrapers, charcoal, pigment sticks, newspaper, and graphite to make marks,s whichever fits the moment.
