This small painting is of the heather blooming in Redesdale. This isolated house sits on a ridge above what was once a small quarry- probably where the stone for the building was excavated. Over the following centuries, the quarry has almost vanished, and is just a strange indentation on the hillside, filled with a tangle of vegetation.
For a short time each year, the wild hills of Redesdale are transformed into a purple, lilac and magenta patchwork, by the blooming heather. Then all too quickly the colours fade away into burnt orange, maroon and iron reds for the autumn.
This was painted onto textured heavy weight paper, using Artist's professional acrylic paint.
It is ready to hang, and framed in a bespoke solid oak frame which is 26 cm square. The painted area is 12 cm square.
This series of small paintings are small enough to hang anywhere- an awkward space or on a staircase, but with enough presence to always look great- singly or as a group. Hang them in blocks, vertical rows or horizonal lines.
