Georgina Potter’s From Behind the Oak captures the hush of a winter sunrise as light spills across a frost-covered field. The great tree, dark and steadfast, anchors the composition, its bare branches silhouetted against a sky alight with orange and gold. Beneath it, snow catches the warmth of the rising sun in delicate pools of reflected colour. With rich texture and a glowing palette, Potter evokes a moment of stillness and splendour, a quiet celebration of light returning to the land.
