Horner Wood (2024) Original Oil Painting by Helen Lockwood

66 x 66 x 3cm (framed) / 59 x 59cm (actual image size)

£950

This oil painting captures a tranquil moment within Horner Wood on Exmoor, as sunlight filters through the dense canopy of ancient oak trees. A mosaic of warm light and cool shadow dances across the road, highlighting the gnarled and twisted trunks of the venerable oaks and moss that carpets the dry-stone walls. The brushwork brings the scene to life, with a sense of texture in the rich, earthy tones of the bark and a luminous glow where the light breaks through. The result is a vibrant and atmospheric portrayal of one of England's most celebrated ancient woodlands, filled with a sense of peace and natural magic. It's a study in luminosity and shadow, capturing a moment where the forest reveals its quiet, ethereal beauty, inviting you to step into the enchanted stillness of the scene.
