The last light of the day. The water glistened on the footpath and groughs leading the eye naturally into the far distance. The colours around are muted by the low light and the winter tones of the heather and grasses. To emphasise the eroded and harsh nature of the landscape the paint has had impasto material added, including heather and peat from the moorland.
The texture can be seen in the above detail from the painting.
