The Sunlit Canal Path, Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, Llanover

The Sunlit Canal Path, Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, Llanover is inspired by the beautiful late-afternoon walks with the dogs along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, when we used to live nearby.

Here, I wanted to capture the sunlight in a loose and immediate way, as it gives a warm touch to the landscape, with the pale blue sky reflected in the fluid mirror of the canal.

Snowy Dusty Field, Llanover

Snowy Dusty Field, Llanover is a work that comes from a real moment in a farm field in Llanover – from an initial study on oil paper to this final oil painting on board – an attempt to capture the light and atmosphere that made that dog walk such a lasting memory.

Preparatory sketch on paper - Snowy Dusty field, Llanover

This is Llanover, Monmouthshire.

A snowy field. Mist curling around the trees. The distant point where they meet draws the eye.

It was inspired by a dog walk in early April 2019. Snow from the night before still dusted the ground, and the crisp, fresh cold made every step feel alive.
