notes

Dappled with gently applied impasto marks, ‘Evening Grazing, Lechlade’ portrays a soothing scene of a herd of cows contentedly grazing, in the heart of the Cotswolds. Imbued in a hazy palette of moss and veridian greens, paired with a peaceful sky and landscape in the background, the viewer is taken on an excursion of pure tranquillity. Such a composition would add an element of softness to any interior setting.
