‘Moody Heather’ is a painting that came straight from the place I return to again and again. Those windswept slopes on the edge of Saddleworth Moor. It’s a view I see on early morning commutes and long walks: Royd Edge looking toward Holmfirth. The sky shifting between sunrise light and gathering rain, that mix of calm and drama.
Painted in oils with bold, loose, energetic brushwork and finished with palette-knife marks, the surface has a rugged, expressive texture that echoes the moor itself.
There’s a strong play of warm and cool, light and dark—just like the real landscape when the weather changes in seconds.
Framed in a contemporary black floating frame, this piece has a modern, gallery-like feel while still keeping that raw moorland atmosphere.
If you love dramatic skies, wild landscapes and expressive mark-making, this painting brings that mood right into your home.
