This scene was inspired, along with my painting ‘sledding’ by the snowfall in Bath in 2021. This view is of the old Somerset coal canal locks in the woods in Combe Hay. After the snow had settled the sky cleared and there was a beautiful sunset which reflected upon the stream and the snow melt and the snow itself and the woods were so quiet and beautiful. I thought the colours of this also really nicely echoed the history of this place, with coal being transported down the canal to provide fuel, soon to burn as brightly as the orange and pink of the sky. I also love how the interplay between human history and nature is played out in this spot, with the remains of the old locks emerging in the woods completely by surprise to an unsuspecting walker or rambler.
