For two days per week Alison works in the NHS in Birmingham as a neurophysiologist. This painting depicts the first view of the Malvern Hills that she sees on her journey home. Having always lived in the countryside, this scene provides great comfort and relief, with the knowledge of being nearly home.
 
This scene was painted shortly after Alison lost a beloved pet, so she immersed herself in the reassurance of the familiar scence and the process of stretching the control of fluid paints to create this painting. It provided a valuable source of escapism, which is something Alison endeavours to provide her audience through her artwork. She hopes you will resonate with this painting and the feeling of returning home.
