THIS PAINTING IS ALSO AVAILABLE AS A BESPOKE PRINT ON CANVAS PLEASE EMAIL ME nelartforliving@yahoo.com if you are interested

I love wild places always have always will. The fewer the people the more I like a place usually. I just love being connected to nature and some how in more remote places it's always easier to do that. This painting is an oil and actually has evolved over several years as I initially laid down quite a thin base layer and then didn 't know what I wanted to do next so as is often the case, I then just wait and prop it up in my studio and just keep looking at it, out of the corner of my eye. I have discovered over many years and having done hundreds of landscapes that often they, at least for me, are more successful and atmospheric with the more you leave out. This painting and moorlands in general are places of great atmosphere , where the weather changes rapidly, the light is bright one minute and obscured the next. What often punctuates these areas when the light is low are small areas of water where the ground is saturated so little pools form, acting as a perfect focus for a painting. It is unusual for me to do a painting with so much land in it as I am usually far more interested in the sky. But on this occasion in order to feel really immersed in the landscape and the expanse of the moor it felt more dramatic to be lower down and almost amongst the heather. this painting is not really inspired by one particular moor but rather by the feeling that places like the North York Moor, Exmoor and wild places in general give me. They are places of great beauty and solace and i will certainly paint them again .
