Common Ground
By Tim Grey $7,800DESCRIPTION
This work reflects my early life in South London. First light, softened by fog and frost, recalls time spent on Wimbledon Common – cycling, running, and finding space away from a busy household. The quiet atmosphere speaks to solitude, escape, and the formative landscapes of my childhood. Painted from photographic reference and memory.
