This painting begins with observation and ends with imagination, blurring the line between what was seen and what was felt - the oast houses emerging from the landscape as much from memory and mood as from direct sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a painting about the way certain buildings and places exist in the mind as much as in reality - half glimpsed through trees, half reconstructed from everything you know about them and love about them. Painted in watercolour on archival cotton paper, it has the soft, luminous quality that suits a subject poised between the real and the remembered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout this original artwork\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne of a kind\u003c\/strong\u003e - this is a unique, original painting.
