Golden Fields: A Little Greener
Original artwork by Navy Sloth
Golden Fields: A Little Greener is one of three miniature paintings in my Golden Mini Series. Each painting is similar, but with its own little changes and details. You can enjoy one on its own, or display all three together as a little collection of countryside moments.
This little landscape began with memories of childhood car journeys, gazing out of the car window as fluffy white clouds drifted overhead and the countryside changed constantly before my eyes. Fields, hills, colour and botanicals seemed to pass by in a beautiful blur.
But our landscapes have evolved over the years, now sharing their space with wind turbines that help produce greener energy. They certainly have a Marmite effect — you either love them or hate them.
After travelling through the mountains recently, I found myself looking at the wind turbines differently. Tall, slightly eerie and wonderfully imposing, they stood proudly amongst the landscape. I know they divide opinion, but I found them rather beautiful — and somehow they felt completely at home in this little world I had created.
So I added some tiny, colourful wind turbines.
I love the contrast between the softness of the golden fields, the rolling green hills and these unexpected modern “giants” standing against the sky. For me, they represent the way our landscapes are constantly changing — and how something new can become part of the beauty of a place.
There’s a little bit of childhood nostalgia here, a little bit of curiosity and a reminder that even the landscapes we think we know can still surprise us.
A tiny piece of countryside, a childhood memory and a little nod to a greener future — all wrapped up in one colourful little painting.
