This is a depiction of a mountain peak with its face half in shadow and half in light. It is the first in a series that attempts to paint mountains as if they were sitting for a portrait, poised, posed and still. This piece is painted using indigo, white and blue black oil paints by Winsor and Newton and Old Holland. There are many layers of indigo, a transparent colour, that reveal darker and 'bluer' sides depending on the differing light that refracts in the layers. I have included an additional image of the painting that shows the bluer tones of the indigo. The painting is on professional quality medium grain canvas and is on a deep edged 2 inch wooden stretcher with clean white edges. As such the piece could be hung as is or even propped up on a mantlepiece. It is signed on the reverse. The painting will be packaged following best-practice guidelines and despatched by signed for and fully tracked courier as assigned and monitored by the Saatchi Art team. The painting is signed on the reverse and comes with a Saatchi Art certificate of authenticity.

Unfortunately, I am presently unable to ship orders due to personal reasons. I hope to be able to resume shipping some time in January 2025. Prints will still be available directly through Saatchi Art. Thank you for stopping by and taking an interest in my paintings. My work navigates the delicate balance between representation and abstraction, creating a sanctuary from the pressures of modern life. Each piece is a visual retreat, offering viewers a tranquil space to rest their gaze and find peace. Inspired by ever-changing landscapes and the subtle interplay of light and colour my paintings aim to evoke a sense of calm and introspection. Through my art, I strive to capture fleeting moments of beauty and serenity, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect. The natural world serves as both my muse and my canvas, where I explore the harmony and tension between the seen and the unseen. My creative process is a meditative journey, where each application of paint, either through brushwork or other tools, is a step towards uncovering the quiet elegance of our surroundings. I hope my work provides a moment of respite and a reminder of the simple, yet profound, beauty that exists in our everyday lives. There is a sense of quietude in my work that perhaps reflects the years I spent living in Japan where the beauty of space and stillness is itself a sought after aesthetic. Though still, many of the pieces are heavily saturated - the colours vivid and striking. Others provide a space for contemplation and for thoughts to develop and flit around. I am influenced by many artists from Ornulf Opdahl to Mark Rothko, all of whom create a sense of space in their art. Some Reviews.......................................................................................................................................................... A Long Walk over High Ground 6 Oct 2020 When it feels as if the walls are closing in, I shall walk a while in your shoes to the High Ground where imagination can take wing. Thank you, Howard for giving substance to your ‘rememberings’ and sharing your unique internal landscape in this lovely painting......BH Oct 2020 Last Light At Sea 2 Howard Sills 5 Stars A stunning painting. Reminds me of the Monet paintings I once saw in Russia - when you look at the canvas, the image comes out of the blue (colour) and captures the atmosphere of dusk over water. I Love it.
