Quintessential Countryside

Calm in the South Downs

There’s a certain kind of countryside scene that just feels timeless. I was walking through the South Downs in early evening light when I spotted that small house on the far edge of a phacelia field. Just the sliver of roofline visible in the distance, framed by woodland and completely surrounded by soft purples and fading light. As soon as I saw it, the photo was already forming in my mind. The gentle curve of the land, the simplicity of the colours, and the silence of the scene. It all came together in that moment. A perfect slice of rural calm.

This image brings together all the elements of a classic British countryside view, while leaning into minimalism and stillness. The sea of purple phacelia, glowing softly in golden hour light, leads the eye to a lone country house tucked away just beneath the tree line. The contrast of the warm sky against the cool, flowering field creates a soothing colour balance, while the spacing and structure give it a painterly elegance. For anyone who finds comfort in wide open spaces, country quiet, and the feeling of being gently tucked away from the world—Quintessential Countryside delivers exactly that.

Available as a premium print, canvas, or glass to suit your display preference.

Printing Options

Prints

This photo is available in a range of sizes, as a print on Fujicolor Professional DP II Lustre photographic paper. This paper has a semi-matte finish that enhances the colours and details of the photo, while also providing excellent resistance to fading and fingerprints.

Canvas

Framed with 100% solid pine, my canvases are hand stretched for a professional and durable finish. A canvas will give your photo a more textured and artistic look, as well as a gallery-style appearance.

Glass

Crafted on UK Pilkington glass offering exceptional durability and clarity, my work really shines on this medium. Each photo is UV printed to the glass, giving you a vibrant and vivid result.

Important Information

Cropping

Please note that some cropping may occur depending on the size you choose for your photo. This is because different sizes have different aspect ratios, which affect how the photo fits on the paper, canvas or glass. I will try to preserve as much of the original photo as possible, but some edges may be cut off to avoid distortion or blank spaces, or to accommodate the chosen size.

Colour Reproduction

Also, please be aware that colours may vary from what you see on your screen to what you receive in print. This is because different screens have different settings and calibrations, which affect how colours are displayed. Additionally, printing techniques and materials may also cause some slight differences in colour reproduction and saturation. The labs I print with use high-quality printers and papers to ensure that the photo looks as close to the original as possible, but some minor variations are inevitable and normal. If you have any questions or concerns about the colours of your photo, please contact me before you place your order.

Returns and Refunds

Due to the nature of my products, I do not offer refunds or returns after the sale. However, I understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise. If your order arrives damaged in transit, please contact me immediately with a photo of the damaged item. I will replace the damaged item at no additional cost to you. Please note: I cannot be held responsible for items lost or damaged in transit.

I hope you enjoy your photo and thank you for choosing SRB Photos.
