Evening Walkthrough: The new collection of original oil paintings by Sam Wood.

Painted in the fading light between day and night, these works follow quiet figures through everyday landscapes, from runners and anglers to pink blossom above dark lawns. Faces are often turned away, inviting you to wander through each moment and settle into the calm of an evening outdoors.
