Both are true

Part of a series of paintings documenting the walks around my home in the South Downs.

Watercolour, gouache and pastel on acid free paper

420 x 297 mm (16.5 x 11.7 inch) - framed 564 x 454 mm (22.2 x 17.7 inch)

A footpath on Brinksole Heath, West Sussex. Around the tamed footpath what is hidden watches us pass, our ancestors created monsters and myths from the unseen hiding in the darkness. Light and shadow play on the well-trodden path, signs tempt you to deviate from your route. The sign indicates Indrid, a nod to the North American legend/fictional character and my love of spooky stories.
