Surrey walks and watercolour

Art Inspired by Surrey Hills Walks, Westcott and Dorking

Simon Robin Stephens creates watercolour paintings from places that offer a little breathing space: woodland paths, open views, old stone, water, fields and the pauses found on Surrey walks around Westcott, Dorking, Leith Hill and nearby South London.

Golden Path to Peace watercolour inspired by Leith Hill in Surrey.

Golden Path to Peace

A Leith Hill watercolour about woodland light, movement and the quiet promise of a path leading somewhere gentler.

Paintings rooted in real Surrey places

These works are not travel posters. They begin with real places, then hold onto the emotional residue of the walk: the part that remains after the map has been folded away.
