Russet Fields uses a simple palette of warm colours including yellow ochre and rich browns. This original landscape painting allows the textures and subject matter to be the main focal points, taking inspiration from the local Oxfordshire countryside where the artist lives. The simple farmhouse creates ideas of a safe haven being sheltered and protected by the distant trees. Textures of tissue paper and mesh can been seen at close inspection for added interest. Dripped paint on the field encourages unplanned marks that make this painting so unique. This 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.
