West Woods Gate – An Original Oil Painting by John Collet

£250.00

Step through the gate into a timeless Wiltshire landscape. This evocative painting by John Collet captures the quiet magic of West Woods near Marlborough.

A traditional oil or acrylic painting depicts a countryside scene featuring a wooden gate and stile at the entrance to a field. The painting is in a realistic style with expressive brushwork, capturing the textures of wood, grass, and foliage. In the foreground, a dirt path leads up to the wooden gate, which is flanked by a fence. The gate has a diagonal cross-brace, while the adjacent stile consists of horizontal wooden slats supported by two sturdy posts. The ground in front of the gate is well-trodden, with patches of grass and mud visible. To the left, a leafless tree with dark, twisting branches stretches upward, contrasting with the bright blue sky. Another tree on the right extends its branches into the top frame of the image, partially silhouetted against the sky. These trees frame the gate and draw the viewer’s eye toward the center. Beyond the gate, the landscape opens up to rolling green fields bathed in sunlight. A hedgerow or tree line in the middle distance creates a boundary, with a dense woodland area visible in the background. The trees on the distant hillside are depicted in muted browns and greens, creating depth and perspective. The sky is a soft blue with wispy white clouds. The sunlight filters through the trees, casting shadows on the ground and highlighting the gate and fence. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner, written in a stylized script. The edges of the painting have a subtle vignette effect, with darker foliage framing the bright central landscape.
