Moorland Sunburst was painted after watching a break of sunlight tear through the storm clouds over Saddleworth Moor — one of those moments where the whole landscape shifts in an instant. The colours suddenly lift, shadows stretch and slide across the hills, and the moor seems to breathe again.
I wanted to capture that exact feeling. Loose, bold brushstrokes and palette knife marks build the energy of the scene, while the bright bursts of colour echo that sudden hit of light across the land.
There’s a real sense of movement in the paint — the sky rolling, the moor glowing, the weather constantly changing.
This is an original acrylic painting on birch panel, framed in a contemporary black floating frame. It’s ready to hang and made to bring that dramatic, uplifting moment of moorland light into your home.
