The Tobias Hawthorne collection offers a highly tactile, modern vision of the Lake District. Each piece is defined by dramatic, thick textures, where the landscape appears heavily layered onto the surface. Classic Lakeland subjects—from sturdy stone packhorse bridges and resilient sheep to lonely whitewashed cottages—are depicted emerging from cool, atmospheric mists of slate grey, icy blue, and deep indigo.

What truly distinguishes these works is the sudden, electrifying presence of vivid mustard and golden yellow. These bold streaks and sharp, scratched lines of colour cut through the moody skies and shadowy valleys, suggesting piercing sunlight or striking autumnal vibrance. The resulting images balance the solemn, enduring weight of the mountains with brilliant, fleeting moments of light. These richly textured pieces bring incredible depth and a strong, contemporary focal point to any interior space.
