This is Brooks Creek Lane just beyond our place and I really love the play of shadows across it. In this version I have used a loose, expressive, playful approach and think it lends a certain fantastical lord of the rings feeling.
I have painted another version of this, not yet on my webpage as I am not certain whether it is finished. It is from the same image but uses a very different painting style. Initially it included historically anomalous figures now removed and I think it is finished but there are dark forces at work to get me to add some comical elements.
Painted on (probably) 36″x24″ canvas (I’ll have to check the size at the gallery) in oils. On sale at Sutton Village Gallery as part of my “Beyond the Front Gate” exhibition.
