About this artwork
Deep Water is a realist oil painting of a view looking across a lake on a late summer afternoon. I wanted to capture the space and tranquility of the moment and tried to do this by the unconventional composition of creating a large open space in the bottom two thirds of the painting.
Christopher Witchall’s unsentimental approach to his subjects combine traditional painting techniques with the realism and cool detachment of photography.

Christopher Witchall is an artist based in the United Kingdom whose paintings have been featured in both solo and group exhibitions nationally. He describes his art as being "how the world appears" without embellishment. Witchall eschews the picturesque of the every day, the overlooked, and mundane, and searches for beauty within the most minute of details. His realistic landscapes, seascapes, as well as urban and suburban landscapes are painted using oils on canvas or synthetic board.
