An 80x40cm palette knife oil painting on canvas inspired by the endless views of patchwork fields found in the Cotswolds. The piece shows the array of greens found in the landscape, conveying a bright summers day. The painting is full of details of the hedgerows, walls and tree lines that define the shapes in the landscape, depicted by spontaneous, instinctive marks from the palette knife.

Georgie Dowling artist with Wychwood Art. Georgie was raised near the coast in rural West Wales surrounded by rolling hills and farmland, no doubt influencing her current practice. Having moved to Cheltenham to study Fine Art she has now based herself there. Work is split between painting en plein air across the country, capturing elements of the surrounding landscape, and working in the studio. “I work quite quickly and my marks are spontaneous and impulsive, I embrace happy accidents and enjoy the life that can be seen in a painting when the artist works instinctively. Inspiration comes to me while exploring the land and sea, sourcing colours and forms that give me a sense of place. The coastline is of particular interest to me; the continuous momentum of the sea and everchanging light is an endless source of inspiration ” Georgie was raised in rural West Wales surrounded by rolling hills and patchwork fields, no doubt influencing her current artistic practice. Having moved to Cheltenham to study Fine Art she has now based herself there working from her home studio. Inspired by the British countryside, she explores the beauty of the landscape through her oil paintings.
