Capstones is a contemporary abstract painting inspired by the layered architecture of Wallingford. In historic towns, buildings are shaped as much by absence as presence;each new structure fitting into the spaces left by those that came before. Looking upward reveals a shifting composition of roofs from different eras, forming unexpected patterns of shape and colour.

Working in pinks, deep reds and neutral stone tones, the composition translates this architectural layering into a structured, geometric abstraction. Acrylic on canvas allows for crisp edges and subtle surface variation, echoing the interplay between solidity and change. Forms interlock and overlap, suggesting both continuity and adaptation across time.

Vertical in orientation, the piece offers a strong yet balanced presence, making it well suited to narrower wall spaces or as part of a curated arrangement. Its combination of geometric structure and historical reference allows it to sit comfortably in both residential interiors and design-led commercial environments.
