Original artwork description
This painting captures a lovely golden wheat meadow, framed by delicate white yarrow flowers along its edges. In traditional British symbolism, yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is revered for its associations with healing and protection.
For centuries, yarrow has been used medicinally to treat wounds and various ailments, earning it enduring nicknames like "soldier's woundwort" and "herbal militaris." Its renowned healing properties imbue it with symbolic meanings of health and recovery.
In British folklore, yarrow is also cherished for its protective qualities. It was believed to ward off evil spirits and bad luck, with sprigs often hung in homes to symbolise spiritual protection.
Created with acrylic paints, marbling ink and gold leaf on canvas, this painting features sides that are also painted, giving it a wrapped effect. It is ready to hang, with a cord attached at the back, inviting viewers to bring a piece of this tranquil meadow into their own space.
