Portland from Portesham Down – a hot afternoon

Oil on canvas. 55 x 33cm £345

Coming round the corner of a long and dusty farm track on the Dorset ridgeway somewhere above Abbotsbury, the view suddenly opened out to reveal the landscape plunging away to a view of the distant sea, with Chesil Beach leading out to the Isle of Portland. The swooping shapes of the fields and hills perfectly echo the whale-backed form of that great island.
