Georgina Potter’s In the Shade captures a quiet moment beneath the shelter of summer trees. A flock of sheep rests along the shadowed edge of the pasture, their forms scattered in the cool beneath soft, leafy canopies. The distant hills dissolve into a blue haze, while overhead the sky shifts between sun and cloud. With fluid brushwork and a palette full of earthy greens and dusty greys, Potter evokes the ease of a warm afternoon when the land pauses and the light is gentle.
