Split Willow
Split Willow beautifully captures the essence of an old willow tree in Church Fields, Oxhill, Warwickshire, one of Jill's cherished scenes. The painting highlights the intricate details of the gnarled trunk and the myriad branches shooting in various directions. Set against a backdrop of harvest-hued fields, the predominant blue tones bring a serene and calming atmosphere, complemented by the distant trees softly framing the landscape.
Rendered in mixed media using watercolour, inks, and pastel, this piece showcases the dynamic interplay of nature’s raw beauty and tranquillity. The painting is framed in antiqued silver cushion moulding with an exhibition mount and glass, providing a classic and elegant presentation. The overall dimensions are 87.5cm x 67cm, making it a stunning addition to any collection or space.
