‘Cotswold field patterns’ is an original oil painting by Georgie Dowling. This painting depicts a view over a green field full of lush grass with a pattern of fields in the distance. The block colour of the bright green works with the array of colours and shapes in the distant fields in exploring the variety we find in our landscape. This piece was painted from memories of days spent exploring the Cotswold countryside in the summer months, recalling the colours I spotted in the patchwork fields. The aim of this piece is to convey the feeling of peace we can find while exploring the countryside, to offer a way of bringing a piece of the serene landscape into the home. The paint is applied thickly with a palette knife creating an interesting and varied texture.

Georgie Dowling artist with Wychwood Art. 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. “I work with thick strokes of paint applied with a palette knife creating simple shapes in attempt to highlight the flashes of colour and other defining details that stood out to me. 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 British landscape, sourcing colours and shapes that give me a sense of place. I’m fascinated by the relationship between the natural and man-made lines and forms in the landscape and how the two come together to create a harmonious aesthetic. I find myself drawn to the patterns of trees and hedgerows or structures of walls and paths that define the shapes in our landscape.” To discuss works by Georgie Dowling please contact deborah@wychwoodart.com, or call 07799 535765 / 01869 338155.
