Clumber Winter

This oil painting was created from memory after a Winter walk behind Clumber Park, a large National Trust property in North Nottinghamshire. I stood and observed a grassy verge with dead stalks of grass and plants, a hawthorn hedge, fields, and silver birch trees in the distance. It occurred to me that these distinct bands of colours were the ones I frequently saw while traveling around the county in February. I have always been fond of this cool palette of colours, which patiently awaits the vibrant greens, whites, and yellows of Spring.

Clumber Park is a country park in The Dukeries near Worksop in Nottinghamshire. The estate was the seat of the Pelham-Clintons, Dukes of Newcastle and was purchased by the National Trust in 1946. 

Giclée Fine Art Print, printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Paper.

The super matt finish of Hahnemühle Photorag makes this paper one of our most popular papers amongst artists, illustrators & photographers alike. The paper gives muted blacks with even colour reproduction, and excellent detail. The surface has minimal texture with a chalky smooth cotton feel which creates smooth colour gradients.

The print has a 3mm printed white margin for ease of mounting.

Frame not included.
