oil on a wooden panel 40x40cm
Whistle of the Wind captures the fleeting, melodic presence of Dartmoor’s breath—its wind threading through bracken, stone, and silence. A textured cluster of organic forms emerges in the upper left, rendered in earthy oranges, greens, yellows, and browns, like wind-stirred foliage or moss clinging to granite. Fine, vein-like lines extend across a soft blue-gray field, connecting to smaller echoes in the lower right, suggesting movement, dispersal, and return.
The composition is minimal yet deeply resonant. It evokes the sensation of wind not as force, but as a whisper—an unseen current shaping the land and stirring memory. The painting invites quiet attention, rewarding those who listen for nuance.
For collectors, Whistle of the Wind offers a lyrical abstraction of place. It’s ideal for collections that value emotional subtlety, natural rhythm, and the poetic transformation of landscape into gesture and breath. A contemplative piece that lingers like wind across moorland.

I use oil pastels, oil sticks, markers, scrapers, charcoal, pigment sticks, newspaper, and graphite to make marks, whichever fits the moment.
