About The Pond I

A quiet pond runs from the left foreground into the distance, its surface holding soft reflections of the trees above. A broad-canopied tree stands on the left bank, with a small red bench tucked beneath it beside a pale gravel path. Across the water a line of leafy trees, one turning rust-orange, meets a sky of tall white cumulus over pale blue. Lily pads crowd the right-hand bank in flat green clusters, and low hills sit faintly on the horizon.

The image is built like a framed picture that overflows its own border: spikes of white and yellow foxgloves, purple blooms and a spray of pink wild roses with round green leaves spill past the edges onto the white ground. Fine watercolour washes and dry-brush detail give the foliage a light, papery texture. Its character is gentle and old-fashioned, a still summer garden scene rather than a dramatic one.

Suits bedrooms, guest rooms, hallways and country-style living rooms, and works well in a home office where a calm outlook helps. Pairs with white or sage walls, painted timber furniture, linen bedding, floral cushions and brass lamps. Hang it as one of a matching pair above a bed head or a low sideboard.
