Flowers at the Pond (2025)Acrylic painting by Elizabeth Anne Fox

Flowers at the Pond

33 x 23 inches, 84 x 58 cm
Large painting on heavy watercolour paper responding to the habitat of the watersheds of the Pennines. Acrylic paint and graphite on paper.
The Cotton Grass pond in the sphagnum bog in the wind.
It is part of a series based on my spending a lot of lonely time on the sphagnum moors, seeing them in every season. I allowed the qualities of the mosses and boggy upland wetlands to seep into me and later in the studio begin to paint, setting up a framework of marks to begin with which then form a new landscape on the canvas, with its own rules and rhythms. I aim to work with these elements on the canvas in a way the resonates with the forces I have been interacting with, the flow of the water, the trickling source of a river, the waving grasses and cotton grass flowers, the internal systems that are holding water and carbon that have been set up within this small patch of land over millennia.

My painting is bound up with examination of the land, and in particular, the ephemeral, those forces and presences that cannot be seen but which change and shape the land.
