Storm Surge Hedge
Storm Surge Hedge is a striking and energetic painting depicting a windswept hedge on Garn Fawr, captured in the midst of an approaching storm. The bold use of vivid reds and deep blacks highlights the power and intensity of the wind, giving the viewer a sense of the force of nature. Jill's dynamic use of line and colour brings the movements of the storm and the resilience of the hedge to life, creating a compelling visual experience.
The painting conveys both the violent energy and the beauty of the storm, using strong contrasts and an autumnal palette to evoke the rawness of the scene. The sketch-like quality of the work is emphasised through the use of conte, chalk, and paint, lending it an almost tactile quality. Framed in a limed flat wood frame, with a 5 cm wide exhibition mount, Storm Surge Hedge presents a dramatic and powerful image, measuring 94 cm x 69 cm - perfect for those who appreciate energy and atmosphere in their art.
