Silk-Sack Clouds
£2,700
Sculptural clouds blow over the hills of the North Dorset Downs.
A study for this work was made after a fierce storm had ended and fresh air and bright skies lit the landscape.
The title of this work has been taken from lines in the poem, ‘Hurrahing in Harvest’ by Gerard Manley Hopkins.
'Up above, what wind- walks! What lovely behaviour
Of silk-sack clouds has wilder, wilful-wavier
Meal-drift moulded ever and melted across skies?'
Pastel. Framed in oak. 32 x 38 inches
