“Lilac Sky” is a painting that invites you to pause. It captures that moment on Saddleworth Moor when colour hangs in the air and the light feels almost otherworldly.

• I wanted this piece to feel alive — loose, energetic brush strokes, pops of red and green in the earth, soft lilac clouds drifting above distant blue-green hills.

• It’s a landscape, but it’s also a feeling: the quiet pull of the moors, that sense of belonging, of wanting to return.

• The textures shift as the light changes, and the colours glow beautifully against the deep black contemporary tray frame.

Painted on cradled birch panel, “Lilac Sky” is ready to hang and instantly adds atmosphere, colour, and a touch of wild open space to any room.
