Peak Barns I

Peak Barns I captures the stark isolation of barns perched on a windswept outcrop near Hathersage in the Derbyshire Peak District. Created during a storm in late March, the painting conveys a raw, rugged beauty with its textured layers of stony ground and turbulent skies. Jill’s use of mixed media - acrylic, pastel, and watercolour - adds depth and dynamism, reflecting the resilience of these barns against the elements.
 
Framed in a painted wood frame tinted to echo the earthy tones of the scene, with spacers and an exhibition mount, the piece measures 80cm x 99cm. Peak Barns I invites the viewer to immerse themselves in the dramatic atmosphere of the Derbyshire landscape, making it an evocative and powerful statement piece.
