This painting grew out of my ongoing project Telling Tales and an early exploration of “the beast” said to lurk in the Malvern Hills. It plays with how a rumour or half‑seen shape can grow into a creature of its own. Working loosely and experimentally, I used the image as a way to test how folklore, landscape and girlhood unease can sit together in a single frame. The piece became a stepping stone toward the more developed works in the series, where instinct, misreading and rural myth continue to overlap.
