By the Bridge by Georgina Potter captures a quiet moment along a gently flowing river, where architecture and landscape meet in soft harmony. Loose, confident brushwork evokes dappled foliage, shifting water and the muted solidity of the bridge beyond, allowing colour and atmosphere to take precedence over detail. Subtle tones of mauve, sage and warm stone are balanced by flashes of light on the river’s surface, suggesting early morning or the calm of late afternoon. Potter’s instinctive handling of paint creates a sense of movement and air, drawing the viewer into the scene rather than fixing it in time. The composition feels intimate yet expansive, rooted in observation but alive with painterly freedom.
