This large painting perfectly captures the colour and wild romance of a Cotswold country ramble on a beautiful summer's day, under perfect soft clouds and blue skies.
A gentle light pervades the hedgerows and stile as we look through the bower of leaves and flowers to the distant meadow and hillside.
This is a favourite subject which Holly has revisited for our Wild Things exhibition. Very much a feel-good work for those who love getting out into the unspolit countryside.

"It took courage and patience to take the leap from teaching to stepping back into my artist’s shoes – but I feel so grateful that I did. I try to bring joy and clarity and to transport the viewer to a place of peace and mindfulness. My palette is generated by mood, embracing what is in my head and also what is in reality, often a dance between both.
" I love hearing how much my customers are enjoying their artwork and feel very blessed to have many returning clients."
