Spindly verticals crowd the left of this composition. The familiar forms of silver birch trees vie for attention.
Beyond, the picturesque ebullience extends across ambling hedgerows rendered in tints. A sprinkling of white flora shimmers like a waterway. The horizon, little more than a mere suggestion.
Tatton Winter’s dreamlike works seem to capture a Utopian vision. A restful, near-ethereal, environment where the emerging realities of the urban sprawl are lost amid the grasses.
