£435

Windmills of our time captures an aerial view of a rural terrain transformed by human presence.
The composition features a network of agricultural fields, marked by varying hues of green, brown, and ochre that emphasise the natural diversity of the landscape. Narrow hedgerows trace the edges, introducing a deliberate structure that mimics the patchwork of cultivated land.

A cluster of white wind turbines rise prominently in the mid ground, their clean, modern forms creating a stark contrast against the earth-toned fields below.
These turbines suggest a quiet dialogue between industry and nature, introducing a contemporary element into a timeless rural scene.
