Late Summer Haze, The Hurlingham Club

A monumental, deeply atmospheric landscape defining the structural weight and shifting summer light of the lake at the Hurlingham Club. Executed with immediate No. 12 hog brushwork directly onto a Michael Harding grey ground, the 70×80 cm composition organises a towering, gestural weeping willow and distant banks into blocky, interlocking slabs of coppery-ochre and deep olive. Balanced by a striking foreground vector of soft, chalky pink shoreline flora and a vast, light-struck water runway that lets the cool grey ground breathe, the canvas stands as a visceral triumph of pure oil texture.
