Oil on canvas 50x60cm
An instant when shelter turns to openness. The painting is rendered with layered, sweeping brushstrokes to suggest the memory of a place, as if seen slightly out of focus through emotion or time, turning the landscape to feeling rather than geographic accuracy. It is a painting about arrival—the hush that follows effort, the first clear breath after traveling long in shadow, and the gentle assurance that light, at last, is ahead.
The depicted landscape is at Maiden Law, Durham, England.
