This painting captures the trees along the banks of the River Coquet at The Thrum in Rothbury, dressed in the rich colours of autumn.
The trees in the foreground stand deep in cool, atmospheric shadow, their dark trunks and branches creating a striking contrast with the field beyond. There, the low autumn sunlight breaks through, illuminating the landscape with a warm glow and drawing the eye through the painting.
I particularly love the changing light along this stretch of the Coquet. Depending on the time of day and season, the same familiar view can feel completely different. In autumn, with leaves turning to gold, amber and russet, it becomes especially beautiful.
This painting captures one of those fleeting moments when light transforms an ordinary walk into something rather special.
For anyone who loves Rothbury, The Thrum or simply the colours of a Northumberland autumn, this is a lovely way to bring a little of the Coquet Valley into your home.
Painted on textured heavyweight paper using professional artists' acrylic paints, this is an original work that brings a little of Northumberland's timeless coastal magic into your home.
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.
