This evocative painting depicts a feral goat standing on a windswept hillside, its long, shaggy coat ruffled by the breeze and its curved horns silhouetted against a pale grey sky. Feral goats have roamed the uplands of Britain and Ireland for thousands of years, descended from early domestic stock, and are now a familiar sight on remote hillsides from Scotland to Wales and the west of Ireland. Hardy and sure-footed, they thrive in terrain that few other animals can manage. The soft, muted tones of the pastel capture both the rugged landscape and the quiet self-possession of this ancient, free-roaming breed.
Available as an original pastel painting, open edition fine art prints, and stretched or rolled canvases.
Limited edition prints are available on request.
