Sunburst in March Lockdown

Sunburst in March Lockdown is a vivid testament to nature’s resilience, painted during a quiet lockdown morning near Tufty’s Barns. The piece began as an en plein air underpainting, capturing the scene directly from the fields, and was later brought to life with expressive, loose pastel work in a restrained palette. A brilliant morning sun lights up the horizon, casting a vivid glow over the rugged field, rich with textures of grasses and hedgerows, while a solitary tree stands poised against a clear blue sky.
 
Executed on heavy watercolour paper, this 55 cm x 37 cm unframed painting is filled with an emotive sense of calm and freedom. Sunburst in March Lockdown is perfect for those who appreciate the beauty of open landscapes, skillfully portrayed in a way that celebrates light, colour, and the solace of rural settings.
