Paul West’s ‘Evening Fields, Alnmouth’ is a dramatic snapshot of the changing colours of the Northumberland landscape. An end of day pink light is captured and refracted in the evening’s sky as glimpses of the previous light blue disappears.

The artist purposefully lowers the horizon in the composition allowing him to enjoy capturing this changing atmosphere in a series of long thick expressionist brushstrokes. This energy brings a playful personality to the painting as the colours dance across the sky.
