Blue Remembered Hills by Kenneth Webb offers a serene vision of the Connemara boglands, where memory, light and water coalesce. Lush blues and greens mirror a rose-hued sky, their surface dotted with luminous waterlilies in orange, coral and gold. The distant hills steady the dreamlike scene, while shifting reflections reflect emotion as much as place. Meditative and timeless, this painting transforms landscape into a space of quiet contemplation and poetic reverie.
Blue Remembered Hills captures the tranquil clarity of Kenneth’s vision of the Connemara bogscape, imagined through light, memory and colour. Here, rich blues and greens dominate the water’s surface, reflecting the pink- tinted sky above and creating an immersive sense of depth and stillness. Punctuating this calm are vibrant waterlilies in yellow, orange and coral, floating gently across the pools cut into the bogland.
The distant hills anchor the scene, their softened forms lending a grounded presence to an otherwise dreamlike composition. Kenneth evokes a landscape that feels at once observed and remembered, where light refracts through moisture-laden air and intensifies every hue. The interplay between reflection and colour turns the water into a mirror of emotion - still, contemplative and deeply serene.
This painting invites the viewer into a quiet space of reverie. It is not rooted in a specific time or event, but rather offers a timeless meditation on beauty, peace and the poetic resonance of place. Blue Remembered Hills Blue Remembered Hills.
