Neil Pinkett Painting

I HAVE LIVED IN CORNWALL MOST OF MY LIFE AND EXPOSURE TO SUCH A DRAMATIC ENVIRONMENT HAS INSPIRED ME TO PAINT. THE LANDMASS OF WEST PENWITH IS SMALL BUT ENCOMPASSES SUCH GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY – FROM THE TURQUOISE SEAS OF LAMORNA ON THE SOUTH COAST TO THE WILD ROCKY OUTCROPS AND CRASHING WAVES OF THE NORTH COAST, AND GREAT STRETCHES OF MOORLAND IN BETWEEN. I WORK WITH A KNIFE AS I WANT TO EXPRESS AS FORCEFULLY AS I CAN THE FORCES OF NATURE, THE EVER-CHANGING ELEMENTS, CLOUD FORMATIONS, PIERCING BLUE SKIES OVER ACRES OF RED BRACKEN, THE RAW BEAUTY OF THE LANDSCAPE. THE NATURAL PROGRESSION TOWARDS PAINTINGS ON A GREATER SCALE IS LEADING TO AN EXPLORATION OF LARGER LANDSCAPES FURTHER AFIELD.
