Halnaker View
Halnaker View
You are looking southwest, from the high, windy Halnaker Hill, down the gentle southern flanks of the South Downs. Beyond the rows upon rows of hedges, fields and woodlands, is the sea and the faintest distant hint of the Isle of White. The foreground detail places your feet on the ground - the grain in the wood of the heavy gate, the bolts that hold it together and the sprung latch. You are looking over the broken down hedge into the great, endless patchwork quilt of English countryside.
I painted this to give the feeling of drifting out over the landscape - freedom to wander across it in your imagination. As you look into the grand sprawl of green carpet and blue distant haze, you can create your own world in your mind's eye, It is a never ending journey. I have always felt that paintings are like dreams. They don't prescribe how you should feel. They draw you in and allow your story to come to you.
