A detailed landscape that depicts an area of the Surrey Hills that according to legend, the Devil became so irritated by all the churches being built in Sussex during the Middle Ages that he decided to dig a channel from the English Channel through the South Downs and flood the area. As he began digging, he threw up huge lumps of earth, each of which became a local landmark — such as Chanctonbury Ring, Cissbury Ring, Mount Caburn, and Rackham Hill. He got as far as the village of Poynings ( The Devil's Dyke) when he was disturbed by a cock crowing. One version of this story claims that it was the prayers of St Dunstan that made all the cocks crow earlier than usual. The devil assumed that dawn was about to break and leapt into Surrey, creating the Devil's Punch Bowl where he landed. As you hike along the trail at the bottom of the Punchbowl looking to the other side the valley you are faced with an impenetrable forest of green trees with the occasional wild rabbit darting in and out , Looking above these you see the side of the valley rising high above you with the Heather brightening the hillside. A truly beautiful place to wander . This painting is sold in a natural solid wood frame ready to hang on your wall. I will also supply a signed certificate of authenticity.
This painting is taken from a series of photographs of a flower meadow seen in a park in Twickenham Middlesex. So many flowers in one place made the scene so bright and cheerful . I had to immortalise this scene in a landscape painting in oils. You can almost smell the scent of the flowers and see them gently swaying in the breeze. Painted around all sides ready to hang. I will also supply a signed certificate of authenticity .
