Lord of the Manor is centred on the male pheasant — a bird whose striking colour makes it stand out in the rural landscape.
The pheasant's divinity is expressed through the transformation of a viewfinder into a halo - presenting the pheasant not as quarry, but as a subject of dignity and presence.
The painting celebrates the pheasant's vivid plumage and unmistakable self-possession, set against a background of swirling autumn leaves.
