A Famous Pond
Descriptions:
A Famous Pond by Chris Macauley is an original oil on canvas measuring 43.3 x 22.04 inches. This serene landscape captures a quiet stretch of countryside where light pools across still water and distant trees appear softened by mist. The warm tones of the cottage rest against cool greens and blues, creating a balance between human presence and the calm rhythms of nature. Gentle reflections ripple across the pond, suggesting the passing of time and the memory held in familiar places.
The composition encourages viewers to slow down, breathe, and recognize the comfort found in landscapes that feel both personal and timeless. It offers a sense of peace that collectors often seek in art for their living spaces and private collections.

About The Artwork
expand_more
This is the actual site of the truly iconic painting “The Hey Wain” by John Constable. The artist has approached the scene in a way as if seen for the first time, not replicating the style of painting in any way and noticing that the house (called Willi Lots house) is considerably longer and less compressed in real life than in Constable’s picture.

About the artist

About
Born in Manchester. Studied art in Blackpool and Newcastle. Worked in the building trade for a decade, began teaching art in Leicester.
Artists Statement
Expressing light through color and the arrangement of form are as important as the representation of the scene. Chris Macauley is not a subject specific painter. Whether he is working on still life, portraiture or landscape, he is always trying to discover what the painting is about; the object matter is not really the subject matter.
