This study has gently transformed the way he paints. Where earlier works were carefully planned and highly controlled, often beginning with detailed drawings, his paintings now develop more organically. Each brushstroke becomes part of a process of discovery, allowing the finished work to emerge naturally over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the celebratory collection, traditional methods meet Corfield’s distinctive style - each painting reflects a willingness to explore, experiment and allow the work to evolve, resulting in landscapes that feel both carefully considered and naturally found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Day’s Gentle Close’ followed an unexpected path. Originally an abandoned experimental canvas, it was never intended to become a finished work. Corfield later returned to it, allowing the painting to develop before carefully mounting the completed canvas onto a wooden panel. What began as an unfinished study became one of the collection’s most rewarding paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSummer 2026\u003c\/em\u003e celebrates not only twenty years with Castle Fine Art, but the quiet process of learning that continues to shape Corfield’s work. These are paintings born from patience, curiosity and a deep appreciation for the craft of painting — inviting us to pause, look a little closer, and spend a moment within their calm and atmospheric worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis artwork is also available in a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.castlefineart.com\/products\/paul-corfield-summer-2026-framed-set-of-five\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eset of five\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind out more about the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.castlefineart.com\/collections\/paul-corfield-summer-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSummer 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e collection or shop more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.castlefineart.com\/collections\/paul-corfield\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ePaul Corfield’s art\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Corfield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65562123862365,"sku":"PCO-SLE-LAN-41099","price":521.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/1906\/6461\/files\/PCODay_sGentleClose_0.jpg?v=1787301864","url":"https:\/\/www.castlefineart.com\/en-au\/products\/days-gentle-close","provider":"Castle Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
