Hunting Dog
Two Birds Flying in the Woods in the English Countryside by British Artist
Art measures 24 x 20 inches
Frame measures 28 x 24 inches
This evocative sporting landscape captures a moment of absolute stillness just before the rush of instinct. Set beneath a soft, diffused sky where mist dissolves into pale light, a poised hunting dog stands alert at the crest of a rise, its lean form illuminated against the shadowed foliage. The artist uses a gentle vapor of yellow and green to convey early morning haze, allowing the composition to feel both serene and charged with expectancy.
The dog’s stance provides the emotional and narrative centre of the painting. Muscles taut, nose lifted, it holds a perfect line toward the pheasants erupting from the undergrowth. This interaction between animal focus and sudden movement creates a cinematic rhythm across the canvas. The birds arc upward into the soft atmosphere, leaving a swirl of brushwork that suggests drifting feathers and trembling grasses.
In the foreground, the painter renders a tapestry of wild grasses, seedheads, and earthy tones, adding depth and texture to the scene. The right side of the composition is anchored by a leaning tree, its autumnal foliage glowing with amber and russet notes. The interplay of warm woodland hues and cool mist gives the painting a harmonious balance, grounding the narrative in a natural world that feels both lived-in and lyrical.
The signature, visible in the lower right, adds a final note of authenticity to this richly traditional work. Presented in an ornate gilt frame with sculpted corners and fine beading, the piece carries a timeless elegance. The frame’s classical style complements the subject beautifully, reinforcing the heritage and grandeur associated with fine sporting art.
This painting would appeal to collectors of traditional British and European sporting scenes, lovers of countryside imagery, and those drawn to artworks that carry a sense of narrative tension, pastoral beauty, and quiet drama.
