A Devon Rainforest,
The Dart Valley in a Summer haze
For Sale Oil painting by David William Young.
Size 30" X 24"
‘I rode my horse up to the ridge. I stopped suddenly. The view that unfolded before
my eyes was breathtaking. Surely this Dartmoor valley couldn’t be in England.It
was too epic, far too wild. It gave me a glimpse of the great deciduous forest that
once swathed these islands.
This painting has no sky, no river. I want you to get lost in it. I have painted
sunshine breaking through the moist afternoon haze casting light on the forest of
this deep meandering gorge. Unseen, the haze on this skin of leaves hides a hidden
world of mosses, ferns & lichens that sheath these contorted ancient trees and granite
clitter.’
