An Exmoor landscape I painted a few years ago. #painting #landscape

Oil paint and household paint on board

I went to Paignton to visit my old mate Garry – above my bed was an Exmoor landscape I painted a few years ago.

My original idea for producing a series of Landscapes was to follow the Monet concept and paint the vista at a given time (so the light, shadows etc. are time specific) – I changed my mind and gave myself a time limit of 90 minutes to complete the six landscapes indoors.

The image above was from another series I did – after the exhibition Napalm Exmoor National Park.

About peter

'Death by Sushi' Fish can kill me. When I was very small (maybe 3 or 4 years old) my grandfather, who lost the sight of one eye from a bullet fired by a German sniper (fortunately not a very good one) during the Battle of the Somme in World War 1, wiped my face with the corner of his apron, an apron he had used to wipe his filleting knife on. He was a grocery shopkeeper who specialized in wet fish.
