Winter Westerly by Jo Boddy captures a lone tree standing against an approaching winter sky. Its beautifully drawn branches reach into the open space while layers of soft blue-grey cloud and warm grasses create a wonderfully balanced composition.

Jo’s combination of fine linear detail, expressive marks and carefully considered colour gives the landscape a contemporary yet timeless quality. There is a real sense of weather and season within the piece – that moment when the wind changes and the landscape seems to shift with it.
