In this brief spoken commentary, the artist describes a 100 × 40 cm oil‑on‑flax painting titled “Lewesdon Hill Evening Sunshine.” The work is experimental, employing a loose, expressive style that exploits the rough texture of the flax canvas, allowing the oil paint to break up and flow over it. The artist notes sections that resemble watercolor, smooth gradations of colour in the background, and a glowing sun behind a young Lewesdon Hill tree. The piece is currently on display in the artist’s gallery, and the speaker expresses enthusiasm for the work.

Right then, so this is a smallish meter by 40 centimeter Lewiston view on flax, oil on flax, and this is quite an experimental piece I've made where I've really just got into quite a loose way of painting, quite an expressive way of painting. Really enjoying the, the rough flax surface which the oil paint can flow over in a sort of broken-up way. And I've also got these areas which are almost like watercolor, almost. And of course, the usual gradations of color in the background, and then the glowing light of the sun behind the tree, young Lewiston tree. So yeah, I'm rather enjoying having this on show in my gallery at the moment.
