grasses after lamplough
“I wasn’t familiar with Augustus Osbourne Lamplough’s work, but find his paintings completely magical and can hardly believe they’re paintings at all, in so much as all that soft golden light and gauze is produced from paint and brushes onto paper. Suitably inspired, I returned to a local bit of unadopted scrub set just back from the sea front and indulged once more my love of grasses, in all their billowing contours. First putting my camera into an organza bag, I proceeded to photograph the scrub as the wind pushed it this way and that and the sun illuminated every quill and strand of it.” July 2022
