Artwork Description:
Size:45 x 45 in.
John Waterhouse’s Taking Time is a breathtaking 35" x 35" inch oil painting that captures a moment of stillness and contemplation. A lone figure and their small companion stand before an open gate, bathed in soft morning light, as hot air balloons drift silently above. The delicate mist cloaks the landscape, creating an ethereal atmosphere that evokes nostalgia and serenity. The intricate balance of light and shadow, combined with Waterhouse’s signature soft-focus technique, draws the viewer into the scene, inviting them to pause and reflect.
Waterhouse is a British award - winning artist renowned for his evocative landscapes and mastery of light. His paintings, often inspired by memory and emotion, blend realism with a dreamlike quality, making them instantly recognisable. Each piece begins with careful sketching and planning, ensuring every brushstroke contributes to the story he seeks to tell.
Born in 1967, Waterhouse started his career teaching art to young offenders, reinforcing his belief in the transformative power of creativity. Today, he is one of the UK’s most celebrated landscape artists, with a devoted collector base that continues to grow.
