Glynde Before the South Downs – Mixed Media Pastel & Chalk Landscape Greeting Card

Description

An expressive Sussex landscape capturing Glynde set against the rolling South Downs. Worked in mixed media—soft pastel and chalk—the piece layers fiery, sienna-rich fields with cool, verdant hedgerows and the long red sweep of the downs beyond. The surface carries that beautiful pastel “tooth”: velvety passages, quick chalk marks and luminous scumbles that suggest summer heat and the hum of seed heads in the grass.

This art card reads like a plein-air sketch taken home and resolved in the studio—immediate, energetic, and unmistakably South Downs. Perfect for birthdays, thank-yous, new-home wishes or for anyone who loves British countryside painting.
