The Story
White Daisies and Broom, The Campsies (16" x 16") by Judith Bridgland captures the gentle beauty of a summer’s day in the Scottish countryside, where wildflowers bloom in a vibrant tapestry against the sweeping backdrop of the Campsie Fells. In the foreground, clusters of crisp white daisies mingle with bursts of golden broom, their petals rendered in thick, textured strokes that lend them a tactile immediacy. The lively greens, purples, and yellows of the foliage are painted with expressive energy, contrasting with the broad, serene expanses of turquoise and teal that depict the rolling fields beyond.
The distant mountains rise in soft violet and blue tones, their calm presence anchoring the scene, while loose, painterly marks suggest hedgerows and trees scattered across the land. Bridgland’s confident use of impasto and colour creates a dynamic interplay between stillness and movement, inviting the viewer to feel the warmth of the sun and the lightness of the breeze.
Judith Bridgland, celebrated for her bold landscapes, brings her characteristic vibrancy and emotional depth to this work. With her distinctive ability to blend the real and the expressive, she transforms a simple rural view into a joyous celebration of nature’s changing seasons and enduring beauty.
