Description
Flooded fields on the Somerset levels 2023
A high quality Giclée print of the original charcoal piece (The original may still be available, please get in contact if you are interested)
In February 2024, I finished this challenging piece drawn in willow charcoal on cartridge paper, challenging in that it tested my ability to do the scene justice, I think I just got away with it. The light of the day lent itself to charcoal very well and draws the reflection upwards as well as down and into the foreground. I particularly like the composition with the clouds, hedges and light all contributing to taking the eye around the piece without too much effort or jarring.
This is ‘Water Street’ on the Somerset levels near where I live, as the name suggests it regularly floods and I saw this while just managing to keep my feet dry, taking the picture, on the way to Taunton, the county town of Somerset.
