The Hedging of the Cuckoo, egg tempera on gesso coated wood panel, JAMES LYNCH has depicted the Somerset and Wiltshire countryside from a distinct aerial perspective, inspired by years of soaring the skies with his paraglider. Many of the paintings are pure dramatic panoramas drenched in light, whilst other aerial views provide the backdrop for his birds and animals, which fill the foreground and bring a playful naivety and narrative to the landscapes.
