‘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 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.
