In the grey light of an overcast November afternoon, against a backdrop of sombre woodland flanking the banks of the river Eden in flood, a liver-and-white pointer bitch stiffens as she turns into the wind bringing her the excitement of a pheasant’s scent. A treatment in contrasts, so skilfully executed by the artist, between a subdued and austere landscape and the strength of its dominant subject, to which the eye unfailingly returns.
