About this artwork
Fen Dyke is a small realist oil painting on a 10 x 8” deep-edge, cradled gesso board.
A landscape depicting a narrow, straight waterway running centrally up between grassy banks until disappearing into a fog on the horizon, is a striking but simple and highly detailed composition. This is the Fenland landscape that surrounds the artist's home and which he has explored, photographed and painted for over thirty years.
Christopher Witchall’s unsentimental… approach to his subjects combine two great passions - a love of traditional painting techniques and a fascination with the photographic image. The result of this are paintings that are both painterly and highly realistic.
Fen Dyke is ready to hang and is signed on the back and supplied with a signed certificate of Authenticity.

His realistic landscapes, seascapes, as well as urban and suburban landscapes are painted using oils on canvas or synthetic board.
