Bruce Buchanan - To the Top of the Hill

To the Top of the Hill
Watercolour
42cm x 72cm
Ref. 55202

This painting is inspired by the pastoral elegies of the celebrated English Romantic Period poet, Matthew Arnold.

His poems including “Scholar Gipsy” and “Thyrsis” see the symbolism of a solitary tree crowning a hill and the metaphor for the inevitability of change.

A struggle against the “strange disease of modern life”.

The fluid “wet on wet “ watercolour technique is the perfect medium for this.
