The Artwork’s Story:

‘Rise up and discover the possibilities in an endless sky.’

There’s something inspiring about seeing a hot air balloon floating effortlessly across the sky. And when there is a group of balloons, it’s even more captivating.

Moments like this are rare and fleeting, therefore I had to capture its magnificence. It’s not often we see a flotilla of balloons like this, there will be 50 balloons floating across London’s skyline on 5th June 2022 to mark the Queens Platinum Jubilee.

In this particular painting we see hot air balloons rise up in unison surrounding the castle in splendour. Intricate patterns and details adorn the hot air balloons whilst I have deliberately cast the surrounding landscape into grey and shadow to illuminate the awe and beauty of this moment.
