Original artwork description:

South of Silence I
12” x 24” | Oil and pencil on deep edge, gallery wrap canvas

"South of Silence I" is one half of a contemplative diptych—a standalone piece that also quietly echoes its partner, offering a sense of stillness, space, and open reflection.

This painting is built through slow, layered oil work, applied with brush and palette knife to create subtle textures and shifting tones. Pencil lines and small, intuitive marks move through the surface, adding depth and a trace of the hand behind the process. It’s a gentle, responsive way of painting—layer by layer, letting the canvas guide the rhythm.

The work holds an emotional response to wide, open silence—less about what was seen, more about what was felt. A quiet moment, abstracted. It invites your own meaning too—space for personal landscapes, memories, or moods to surface.

Available to purchase individually or as part of the full diptych, South of Silence I & II (£1,000 total)

Each original painting is created with professional-grade, light-fast acrylics on gallery-wrapped canvas. The surface is sealed with a clear, UV-protective varnish to preserve colour and texture for decades to come.

Your artwork will arrive:

- signed on the reverse or front and accompanied by a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity

- wired and ready to hang (no framing required unless you prefer)

- carefully wrapped in acid-free paper, cushioned, and boxed for secure, insured delivery

Subtle variations in colour can occur between screens and real life; every effort is made to photograph the work accurately. If you have any questions before or after purchase, I’m always happy to help—your confidence and joy in owning the piece matter most.

oil paints, pencil, pallet knife.
