Rannerdale Mist
Rannerdale Mist captures the gentle yet powerful beauty of a misty Rannerdale hillside as seen through Jill’s sensitive use of pastel. Inspired by her walk up Rannerdale as soft mist rolled over the landscape, Jill has beautifully depicted the subtle hues of greys, pinks, and rust that emerged as the mist shifted. The softness of the colours and textures in the painting evoke a sense of quiet solitude, drawing viewers into the transient and atmospheric quality of a landscape enveloped by mist.
Presented in a wide, flat-profile limed wood frame with a slip, this large painting (overall dimensions 66 cm x 69 cm) brings the ethereal beauty of Rannerdale into sharp focus. Jill’s work reveals the way mist alters the appearance of the mountain and its surroundings, lending both contrast and harmony to the natural colours of the landscape. This striking piece invites viewers to experience the peaceful mystery of a mist-laden hillside in the Lake District.
