Looking West from Sampford Moor
Sampford Moor, on the Blackdown Hills, is close to where Annie lives. It is one of her favourite areas to walk the dogs and she is frequently inspired by the extensive views of Somerset and Devon she enjoys up there. This ridge runs on the edge of the Blackdowns and in autumn is covered in flowering gorse and heather. Annie enjoys the boundary between the wild heathland vegetation on the moor and the farmed land beneath. The painting achieves extraordinary depth and conveys the extensive views from the ridge. Painted primarily using a palette knife and rags, Annie is able to imply and infer the textures of the trees, the undergrowth and the foliage with deft strokes and mark making.
