After snowfall, light floods the open moor as white ground and blue sky sharpen into brilliance.

Available Original

Exmoor Gold is an original gouache painting inspired by the high moorland of Exmoor following fresh snowfall. A broad expanse of white ground stretches towards a dark hedgerow and brilliant blue sky, capturing the remarkable clarity and luminosity that can follow unsettled winter weather.

Small areas of golden moorland grass break through the snow, introducing warmth against the cooler whites and blues. With its restrained composition and uninterrupted sense of space, the painting captures the freshness, stillness and expansive character of Exmoor after snowfall.

Artwork & Finish

Painted in gouache on paper, the work combines layered opaque and semi-opaque colour with lighter, more delicate applications. The smooth paper supports clean edges and subtle tonal transitions, while areas of the paper contribute naturally to variations in brightness and depth. The finished work retains the smooth, matt character of gouache.
