Landscape

A rural valley settlement nestles beneath a prominent golden-brown mountain, its slopes catching warm afternoon light. White-walled buildings cluster near a river lined with green vegetation, whilst ochre and golden fields sweep across the middle ground. Polson’s composition balances architectural detail with expansive landscape, employing a warm, luminous palette to render the scene as a place of quiet habitation and natural abundance. Oil on board allows the artist to build depth through layered colour, creating the tranquil mood characteristic of his practice.
