Inspired by the sun-drenched landscape of the Malvern Hills during the height of the summer heatwave, Summer in the Malvern Hills captures the raw vitality and rhythmic energy of the British countryside in vibrant acrylics. This piece is one of a series of paintings completed in August 2026, marking a pivotal moment when Kirsty Wain returned to the UK for a summer of travelling, her first extended return after living in Spain for many years. Influenced by her time in southern Europe, Wain approaches the British landscape with a freshly attuned eye for intense sunlight and vibrant colour. Using a bold, Fauvist-inspired palette and expressive Post-Impressionist brushwork, she contrasts the rich ochres, golden yellows, and scorched earth of the sun-baked slopes against lush pockets of deep green foliage and rolling distant hills bathed in soft lavender and blue haze. The sweeping ridge line pulls the eye across the canvas, inviting the viewer into a dynamic, dreamlike expression of place, heat, and nostalgic homecoming.

Frame not included About the Artist Kirsty Wain is a British painter currently living and working in Spain. Deeply connected to the Mediterranean landscape, her work offers an expressive, emotive interpretation of the surrounding environment. Drawing strong inspiration from Post-Impressionism and the bold colour theory of Fauvism, Wain uses vibrant hues, textured application, and fluid line work to capture the intrinsic energy, spirit, and light of a location. Her paintings, frequently focused on ancient olive groves, hillside pines, and sweeping terrains—seek to translate fleeting personal moments and deep emotional ties to place directly onto the canvas. Wain’s distinct visual language continues to gain international visibility, and her paintings are held in private collections around the world. ´ I love colour. I love nature. I love art. Together, they are my language. ´ K Wain 2025 Artist Profile & Education Background: British contemporary landscape painter based in Spain, combining her artistic practice with a long-standing career in art education.
