Take one picture: of quiet moments
Of Quiet Moments is an expressive painting in a muted, soothing palette, inspired by early mornings, sat with a steaming mug of coffee watching the river come to life…a moment of calm before the day ahead…
Even before lockdown, I used to spend long periods beside the river. I loved walking along its banks, absorbing its changing moods and cast of characters; from the chattering swallows to the haughty swans, to fleeting flashes of blue and orange, to footprints in the mud telling of night time visitors.
This river landscape provided a whole world of inspiration…
Without doubt, one of my favourite times to wander along the banks was early morning, just as the sun was climbing into the sky, and the river and its inhabitants were awakening. Sitting quietly, with a steaming mug of coffee in my hand, watching as this world unfurled - a meditative act that made facing the day so much easier!

This painting, with its muted palette and tranquil mood, aims to capture that moment; peaceful serenity before the hurly-burly of the day begins… Of Quiet Moments is available to purchase from my website…
