Windswept Hadleigh Castle | Acrylic on stretched canvas 508x406mm

You can almost hear the breeze sweeping through this vibrant wildflower meadow, broken only by the distant hush of time echoing from Hadleigh Castle. This 20 x 16 inch acrylic painting captures a moment of calm energy—storm-swirled skies rolling above a riot of meadow colours, where vivid reds, whites, and blues dance in thick, expressive strokes.

Set against the brooding outline of the Essex landscape, the castle stands resilient on the horizon. Its weathered stone form is softened by the movement and texture of the sky, which blends urgency with light. The brushwork is bold, full of layered colour and dynamic mark-making, giving the scene both depth and immediacy.

This artwork invites you to pause, to look beyond the everyday. It's ideal for a space that needs both tranquillity and drama—something that sparks conversation and contemplation. Whether hung in a bright kitchen or a quiet study, it offers a window into the English countryside, alive with atmosphere and memory.
