Dales Landscape

Return to a landscape I paint often on a day when a blue grey colour predominated in the pastures and trees. The telegraph poles remind us of the strong winds that are usually making their presence felt!

Winter reprise

PA775 Winter reprise . Oil on board 31 x 36cm Neil Bolton Fine Art Painter

A day of cold, changeable weather much more typical of Winter rather than Spring. The painting went through many changes too, the final state being a composite record of cloud movement and fleeting light, something that had some truth to my overall impression of the time painting.

Spring fields

PA771 Spring fields. Oil on board 31 x 36cm Neil Bolton Fine Art Painter

Painted in the North Yorkshire landscape, some vast fields sown with wheat. I had to discern different hues of green and use the diagonal tractor lines to portray the receding plane of the land.

Spring landscape

PA769 Spring, High Burton, North Yorkshire. Oil on board 23 x 30cm Neil Bolton Fine Art Painter SOLD

Wheat fields showing young growth, the landscape is predominantly green at this time of year. In this painting I have tried to achieve a harmony and portray the variations in the green hues. This painting was exhibited in the Harrogate Open exhibition at the Mercer Gallery where it was sold.

Fires on moorland

PA767 Fires on the moor. Oil on canvas board 21 x 34cm Neil Bolton Fine Art Painter

The burning of heather on the moorlands near where I live. This is a contentious issue but for me the interest is in the visual drama of the smoke pillars which in a painting can have many connotations. Painted outside where the direct experience of reality/nature is stimulating and potent for painting.
