About Julian Lovegrove Art

 
 
  • Biography
    Oil paintings, Landscape Paintings, Seascape Paintings, Towns and Village Paintings, En Plein Air Paintings.
    I grew up in an artistic household and from a young age I went out doors to discover a love of nature. This love has followed me all my life, and I am happiest, when in the middle of the woods, or walking in a muddy field. My
    parents would encourage us to take a sketchbook, and weekends were spent creating paintings from those sketches. 
    Father was an Architect and Mother, an Art Teacher who founded the Shortlands Studios and our Artist in Residence was Peter Midgley, RCA.

    To this day I prefer to work out side directly from nature and you will often find me sketching or painting 'en plein air' until the light fades or rain intervenes. Then I can be found in my Broadstairs studio, working away using sketches and notes for reference.
    I am inspired by David Jones, Edward Seago, Rowland Hilder, and The Wapping Group of Artists.

    Dates: 6 Nov 2024 - 13 Oct 2024

    Venue: York Street Gallery, Ramsgate, York Street, Ramsgate CT11 9DS

    A selection of new oil paintings created mostly out in nature, in the woods, muddy fields, a forest, mountain tops, some say this is my ‘green period’! As a nature lover, I prefer to work outdoors, taking in the sights smells and feelings from all around, and creating paintings that appeal to nature lovers, worldwide. These are the best from this years output.

    Event: The Call of the Sea

    Dates: 1 Nov 2023 - 8 Nov 2023

    Venue: York Street Gallery, Ramsgate CT11 9DS

    A selection of original oil paintings, with connections to the sea, boats, harbours, under sail, yachting, fishing, under repairs in shipyards.

    I have spent a year visiting harbours and boat yards, and creeks to capture all these images ‘en plein air’ as the impressionists did.
