Smithy Corner

Based on an en plein air study, this studio painting captures the charm of a 17th-century timber-framed cottage in Beeston, Cheshire. Grade II listed and steeped in local history, the semi-detached dwelling sits quietly at a gentle bend, its black-and-white beams echoing centuries of rural craft and shelter. A study in structure, light, and timeworn beauty.
