Up where my heart sings

Painted on Arches Huile paper, protected with a clear wax coat, mounted on board and framed with a slab tray frame in white wood.

This is a particular view up high looking down onto the river, both banks can be seen snaking away. The painting is about the feeling of elation I always feel at this point, I don’t know quite what it is but my heart always skips with joy as I look at this view. It makes you feel quite small looking at it, looking down on this perfect little world. The colours are very much as the autumn is just starting to show, hints of bracken red and skies that hint at both rain and sun. I love the changing light you get at this time of year, and standing up on the high ground you can watch the weather systems blow in and out.
