"Drifting" – Original Oil Painting
Product Description
This captivating piece is part of a collection of three paintings inspired by a visit to the River Stour, which flows from Canterbury to Sandwich in Kent. Created in 2023, the painting reflects the experience of spending the day both on the river and along its banks, with elements painted en plein air and additional work completed back in the studio.
The composition highlights the Rosebay Willowherb that dominated the scene. Inks were used to capture the delicate yet structured form of the plant, swaying with the wind and rain. Controlled yet fluid marks mirror the natural randomness of the plant’s movement, resulting in a dynamic visual narrative. The painting measures 50cm x 81cm and is framed in a black, wooden float frame, making it an ideal addition to a modern art collection.
