Gorse and Tors is a painting that depicts the emotional energy experienced by the artist whilst visiting an area of outstanding natural beauty. As capitalisation and over-urbanisation takes root in cities around the world, landscapes increasingly provide important spaces for reflection and mindfulness, as we attempt to escape from contemporary pressures. 
 
The painting captures the rich and intense colours of mountain gorse which is under increasing threat from wildfires as temperatures increase due to global warming. Painted using natural pigments, cold wax, pastel.
