An expressive and vividly coloured painting by British artist Frances Daws.

“From Lacock to Bath” captures the fleeting impressions gathered along one of the West Country’s most familiar routes. Rather than documenting a particular view, Frances paints the landscape as it settles in the memory after repeated journeys, rolling hills reduced to confident, flowing shapes and a carefully restrained palette of deep greens, rich earth tones and soft pinks. The subtle contrasts in tone create depth without relying on fine detail, while glimpses of the underpainting unify the composition and hint at the layers beneath the surface.

The result is a landscape that feels both unmistakably rural and beautifully universal, inviting us to recognise not a place, but the familiarity of a journey we’ve taken many times before.

Frances Daws is a British Artist working in the Southwest of England. Primarily a painter she also works within printmaking. Having lived by the English coastline and now residing within the countryside her work is often formed by ‘colour journeys’ a form of mapping the landscape through the emotive language of colour.
