Rothbury Hills Mounted Print 14 x 12

Rothbury Hills captures the quiet, expansive beauty of the Northumberland countryside, where open land rolls gently towards distant hills under a soft, shifting sky. This acrylic work focuses on atmosphere and rhythm rather than detail, inviting the viewer to breathe in the space and stillness of the landscape.

Golden grasses dominate the foreground, painted with loose, expressive strokes that suggest movement in the wind. A simple line of fence posts leads the eye diagonally through the scene, creating depth and a sense of journey, as though following an old path across the moor. Beyond, darker bands of woodland and layered hills fade into cool lilac and blue tones, softened by distance and light.

The palette is warm yet restrained. Earthy ochres and browns are balanced against muted greys and gentle pastels in the sky, evoking the changing seasons and the subtle drama of Northumberland’s uplands. The painting feels calm and reflective, rooted in place and memory rather than spectacle.

Serene and timeless, Rothbury Hills is a contemplative piece that brings warmth, openness, and a sense of rural tranquillity into any space. Ideal for lovers of landscape, walking country, and the understated beauty of the North East.
