The painting depicts a stark winter landscape, with a dark cluster of bare trees standing alone against snow-covered fields and a wide blue-grey sky. The ploughed lines of the field lead the eye towards the trees, while the dark foreground branches frame the scene and give the composition a strong sense of depth and atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"518\" data-end=\"1016\"\u003eHarrison’s work often draws on the landscapes of Edinburgh and Fife, combining expressive brushwork with a strong feeling for place, colour and seasonal mood. This painting is a particularly striking example of his recurring interest in isolated groups of trees, a motif he has returned to in later works connected with solitude, winter and the Fife landscape. The contrast between the pale snow, the blue horizon and the dense black forms of the trees gives the work a quiet but powerful presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1018\" data-end=\"1369\"\u003eThe work is initialled and dated SHH 2014 lower left, and is further signed, titled and dated verso. It is presented in a substantial gilt frame, which suits the cool winter palette and gives the painting a strong decorative impact. A highly atmospheric contemporary Scottish winter landscape, well suited to both traditional and modern interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1371\" data-end=\"1929\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1371\" data-end=\"1382\"\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stephen Howard Harrison\u003cbr data-start=\"1406\" data-end=\"1409\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1409\" data-end=\"1419\"\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lonely Trees\u003cbr data-start=\"1432\" data-end=\"1435\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1435\" data-end=\"1444\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2014\u003cbr data-start=\"1449\" data-end=\"1452\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1452\" data-end=\"1463\"\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil on canvas\u003cbr data-start=\"1477\" data-end=\"1480\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1480\" data-end=\"1496\"\u003eCanvas size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 61 x 74.5 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1509\" data-end=\"1512\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1512\" data-end=\"1528\"\u003eFramed size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80.5 x 95.5 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1543\" data-end=\"1546\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1546\" data-end=\"1560\"\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Initialled and dated lower left; signed, titled and dated verso\u003cbr data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1627\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1627\" data-end=\"1637\"\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Substantial gilt frame\u003cbr data-start=\"1660\" data-end=\"1663\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1663\" data-end=\"1677\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e The painting appears in good overall condition.
