Description
In this painting, I tried to capture the stark drama of this winter scene in Gloucestershire, UK. The old Cotswold-stone house is set on a hilltop, with its bare, ivy-clad winter trees and dry-stone wall. The day was dark and the sky threatening, but the scene was imbued with peace. I believe that, in days gone by, it may have been an old parsonage and imagine its early inhabitants living a life of genteel poverty and public service.
