<em>In the Wilds</em> is a collection of artist Nigel Peake's hand-drawn observations of rural life. From the trees,fields, lakes, and rolling hills that define the country landscape, to the farm houses, tractors, fences, and telegraph poles that build it, Peake's obsessively detailed pencil and ink drawings and beautifully muted watercolors capture the slow moving rhythm of his surroundings. In a time when everyone seems to be seeking relief from the fast pace of everyday life, <em>In the Wilds</em> offers an escape to a countryside as timeless as it is idyllic.
