Original artwork description:

“From Buttermere To The Hills Of Grasmoor” is an acrylic painting on canvas. It is 90x60 cms stretched over a custom made frame with steel corner braces. Lake Buttermere in Cumbria U.K. is known as the lake by the dairy pastures and is part of a classic combination of lakes and mountains. The hills of Grasmoor can be seen above Crummockwater. The painting started from a series of on-site drawings made from the lakeside at Buttermere. The sketches were made in September 2018. Very strong light. Deep shadows. The painting isn’t really about the location. It is a painting that takes its origin and source from the location. It isn’t a literal painting. It exists as a painting in its own right. Gestural and expressive, hopefully capturing a memory of a time and place I frequently visit. There are clear references to Fauvism, Expressionism and the 1940’s Cobra art movement. There are also links to the works of Barbara Rae, Gillian Ayres , Howard Hodgkin and John Hoyland.
