About the Item
"Down to the Lake" by George Callaghan transports viewers to a serene countryside scene, where the boundary between reality and dreamscape blurs in a mesmerizing display of surrealism. In this enchanting painting, the focal points of the scene draw the eye towards a landscape steeped in warmth and familiarity.
The first focal point is the scattered houses that dot the hillsides, their welcoming facades exuding a sense of homeliness and peace. Each house emits a gentle wisp of smoke from its chimney, a comforting sign of hearth and home amidst the tranquil landscape. These friendly abodes create a sense of community and belonging, inviting viewers to imagine the stories and lives that unfold within their walls.
As the eye wanders through the houses, it is met with the sight of cows grazing peacefully in the rolling hills. The cows add a sense of pastoral charm to the scene, their presence evoking feelings of nostalgia and simplicity. Their leisurely grazing suggests a timeless rhythm of life, undisturbed by the passage of time.
Above, the sky is awash with shades of pink, blue, and purple, casting a soft, ethereal glow over the landscape below. The colors of the sky hint at the approaching sunset, infusing the scene with a sense of quietude and tranquility. As the day draws to a close, there is a palpable feeling of peace and contentment in the air.
Hints of surrealism permeate the scene, as elements of the ordinary world take on a dreamlike quality. Yet, despite its surreal undertones, "Down to the Lake" feels intimately familiar, evoking memories of home and hearth in all who behold it.
Signed by the artist, this captivating artwork is ready to be displayed and cherished, inviting viewers to lose themselves in its serene beauty. Whether viewed in person at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea or online, "Down to the Lake" promises to transport viewers to a world of tranquility and comfort, where the stresses of modern life melt away in the embrace of nature.

Artist Comments
"This painting celebrates the joy and the art of the frolic, the fanciful, and the free!" says artist Diane Flick. Loosely inspired by Mary Poppins with a nod to her in the title, Diane explores her playful imagination by drawing an expansive landscape with random and happy imagery conceived in pure delight. Having just given birth to her second child when beginning this piece, Diane spent that summer enjoying the new addition to her family, rolling down imaginary hills with childlike enthusiasm, wrapping herself in the sweetness of new motherhood again, and painting.About the Artist
