Pathfinder

Pathfinder draws its inspiration from the serene landscapes of the South Downs, characterized by gentle rolling hills and secluded copses. I count myself incredibly fortunate that these picturesque hills begin right at the edge of our village—an environment I’ve previously depicted with great success in ‘Green Valley Trio.’

Immerse yourself in the world of Pathfinder.

In this evocative painting, a lone fox traverses a hill bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, its movements akin to a silent stalking. Much like in ‘Green Valley Trio,’ I’ve employed stylised textures and gestures to depict the heather-covered hillside, seamlessly blending them with the longer grasses below. Along the horizon, barren skeletal trees stand silhouetted against a clear night sky, adding to the ethereal atmosphere.

Pathfinder will add a stunning accent to your space.

Upon closer inspection, one can discern how these same textures morph into those of the fox itself, underscoring the primal connection between animal and landscape. They are inseparable, two elements intertwined in a timeless dance. Through this work, I aim to emphasize the immutable bond that exists between nature and all its inhabitants, including ourselves.

Indulge in the timeless elegance and sophistication of Pathfinder.

In my journey as an artist, I’ve tried various surfaces & colours… From acrylics on boxed canvas to the refined oils on board I now employ. Each combination wields a distinct influence over the final outcome. Canvas imbues a rustic charm, its weave adding texture. For intricate details, only oil on board suffices, offering subtle nuances and unmatched blendability.

Yet, my attention extends beyond the artwork itself; the frames for Original Artworks hold equal significance. Through experience, I’ve learnt how a well-selected frame can elevate a piece, sometimes even reshaping its interpretation. Every choice, from canvas to frame, is a deliberate step towards crafting not just art, but an experience.
