‘The Langdales’
Acrylic on CanvasThe Langdales is a two-piece collection that captures the wild beauty of the Lake District landscape through the vivid, emotional lens of artist Mia Walsh. Having grown up near these fells, Walsh channels a deep personal connection to the land, using sweeping brushstrokes and a bold, expressive palette to portray the Langdales not just as a place, but as a state of being. The warm hues and dynamic contours suggest movement and vitality, evoking the sense of liberation and belonging she feels when immersed in these familiar hills.
Rather than a literal representation, this work is a celebration of memory, emotion, and the enduring spirit of the landscape. The interplay of fiery earth tones against cool greens and blues blurs the boundary between terrain and sky, between outer world and inner experience. Through The Langdales, Walsh invites viewers to experience the same boundless freedom and awe that the rugged beauty of nature has always offered her.
