Folly Hill- ORIGINAL

Folly Hill

Part of the 'Summer of '24' range, eight images inspired by my many dog walks in the West Oxfordshire and Cotswold countryside. This collection depicts this glorious region during my favourite time of year. Late Spring/ early summer for me is the perfect time, when everything is so lush and green, blooms are emerging in pretty pastels and wildlife is just going crazy!

'Folly Hill' is inspired by Faringdon, home to Lord Berners who decided that building a folly to annoy the neighbours was a splendid idea! Alongside painting the pigeons pink and inviting horses for tea! Many of my paintings are of no particular place, imagined and referenced from lots of places together, however this is is more or less real! The pastel houses do line the approach towards the hill, and also included are some of the 'four and twenty blackbirds' from which this place inspired Henry Pye's poem.

'Folly Hill' comes ready framed in a white painted wooden float frame. 

It is painted on a 40 x 40cms canvas, and painted in professional quality acrylic paint. It is finished off with a light mist of matt varnish for protection. Original signed by the artist.

If you prefer this painting without the frame a discount can be applied. Please use the contact form to get in touch! The sides of the canvas are painted, and mounting brackets can be refitted onto the canvas frame instead.
