The Hunter’s Moon, 1955


Glimpse Upon Waking, 1976

Winifred Nicholson (21 December 1893 – 5 March 1981) was an English painter, a colourist who developed a personalized impressionistic style that concentrated on domestic subjects and landscapes. In her work, the two motifs are often combined in a view out of a window, featuring flowers in a vase or a jug.
She painted prolifically throughout her life, largely at home but also on trips to Greece and Scotland, among other places. Many of her works are still in private collections, but a number are in the Kettle's Yard art gallery, Cambridge, and several key works belong to Tate. One painting is believed to have hung at 10 Downing Street.

Irene’s Cove, Evvoia, May


Rape, Gorse, Poplars, April

Born in 1968, Tor went to Norwich School of Art. Inspired by the landscape in general and plants in particular she records the landscape change day by day, from season to season and year to year. The many drawings and paintings she does have become an intimate study of the natural world around her.
However, not only interested in recording facts; she loves the texture of paint, colour, shape and pattern on a flat surface. Taking what she is looking at and pushing a shape, for instance, or a colour, as far forward as she can so the painting becomes something of it's own. Prompted by a plant or a colour or a shape. It's usually the unexpectedness or the symmetry of a particular plant or combination of plants within a landscape that start a painting.
She lives in Norfolk with her husband and three children. And spends far too much time cooking

Joseph Mallord William "J. M. W." Turner, RA (23 April 1775 – 19 December 1851) was a British Romantic landscape painter, water-colourist, and printmaker. Turner was considered a controversial figure in his day, but is now regarded as the artist who elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivalling history painting. Although renowned for his oil paintings, Turner is also one of the greatest masters of British watercolour landscape painting. He is commonly known as "the painter of light" and his work is regarded as a Romantic preface to Impressionism.
