Countryside Fields is an original landscape painting inspired by local walks in Oxfordshire where the artist lives. Its semi-abstract composition implies peering over a rugged dry stone wall to watch the sun setting over the fields. The subtle indication of splattered wild flowers adds colour and interest to the contrasting dark foreground of the shaded wall. Towards the background the colours are muted, creating a sense of distance and perspective. The hazy summer sun draws the viewer’s eye up the artwork while adding to the paintings atmosphere. This little original artwork is set in a pure white mount subtly signed bottom right and titled on the left. Ready for your own choice of frame.

Cathryn Jeff, painter and artist, is available for sale online and in our art gallery at Wychwood Art. I love to create paintings inspired by the stunning Oxfordshire countryside where I live and seascapes from my travels. These are usually enhanced by my vivid imagination. Following A Level I continued to study art at Banbury in Oxfordshire and finally a degree at the Surrey Institute of Art and Design in Farnham, totalling six years of art training and many, many more years experimenting. I enjoy the experimental approach of trying out different mediums including ink, acrylic, oil and watercolour. The application of the paint is an exciting experience for me creating interesting marks such as splashes, dripping, masking, dry brushing and palette knife effects. Working in a spontaneous manner, I relish in the excitement of the unpredictable nature of the media I combine. In fact ‘happy accidents’ are a fundamental part of my practise and lead to each piece having its own individuality.
