Theme: Sanctuary Views
From the Surrey Sanctuaries collectionSanctuary and the City
2026 - Watercolour on paper - Approx. 22 x 15 inches, original watercolour on Saunders Waterford 100% cotton paper.
Sanctuary and the City looks toward the city from a quieter edge. It holds the feeling of seeing noise and movement from a place of peace, where distance becomes a kind of kindness.
The moment behind this painting
Painted from the feeling of looking toward London from the quieter green edge of Epsom Downs. The city felt present but held at a distance, and that contrast between movement and calm became the heart of the painting.
