This painting plays a crucial role in my artistic journey, directly tied to my experiences on 'Landscape Artist of the Year.'
After reaching the semi-finals in 2020, I was granted a residency at Cockington Court, where my studio is currently located.
During this time, I explored the natural beauty of my surroundings. Inspired by the soft afternoon light filtering through ancient rhododendron stems, I stepped out from the kitchen gallery, dedicating time to sketch, study, and paint this scene from life. The resulting oil painting captures a moment of inspiration.
I later reapplied to 'Landscape Artist of the Year,' and this painting secured me a place in the current season. It features along side me in the pod as I paint at the Royal Albert Docks in Liverpool.
