This stunning original oil on board painting by charles simpson is really easy on the eye, and a feature to any room. It shows a group of five dartmoor ponies grazing at the side of a small stream. The stream is painted so skilfully you can almost see through it, as it winds its way from the front centre of the painting, first right, then left, meandering into the distance. In the background the moorland rises to rounded, purple-coloured hills, above which is an open sky, layered in tones of warm light and soft cloud. There is a sense of quiet peaceful movement, the grazing of the ponies and the flowing of the water, with a slight mist over the moor capturing the essence of dartmoor’s wild beauty.
