‘Sanctuary’ is a small, richly painted, breezy, summery piece—inspired by my series of rural walks around Cawthorne, South Yorkshire.

“It takes a few moments to notice the shed, nestled in the cover of the fragrant trees and vegetation, tucked away in the baked summer landscape. I imagine this tired old structure is someone’s haven—someone’s respite from the world. In summer you can sit outside and bask in quiet solitude surrounded by birdsong, or take shelter from the burning sun. In winter, it becomes protection from the icy wind and battering rain. An earthily-scented refuge to enjoy a brew and warm your hands while the weather has its way.”

 

Framed in a contemporary black wood tray frame and ready to hang.

Finished with a low-sheen varnish for protection.
