This painting captures a quiet moment in the gardens of The Manor House in Castle Combe, often called the prettiest village in England. Three figures sit together beneath the shade of a parasol, their forms softened in shadow. My focus was on the striking contrast of light—the way the sun illuminated the white dress, making it glow against the darker tones around it. It was this fleeting shimmer, the gentle play of light and shadow, that became the heart of the painting. With loose, impressionistic brushstrokes.
The work is presented in a 3-inch professional handmade frame, finished in No. 3 Off-White by Farrow & Ball, with a gold-leafed inner edge that adds a quiet elegance and warmth to the painting.
