The scene was inspired by a family walk along the Ridgeway in the Chiltern Hills. At first glance, this oil on board shows a couple of people walking on a grass path. The image projects a feel of everyday life, of a journey together in a safe place surrounded by the sanctuary of nature, a […]
Last summer I’ve visited Hughenden Manor, near High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire. A Victorian mansion that served as the country house of Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, the 1st Earl of Beaconsfield. He was one of Queen Victoria’s favourite Prime Ministers. This is a view from inside the Manor, looking towards the gardens. I loved the variety of […]
Update: ‘Cumbrian Forest’ is one of DPW Facebook picks of the day! This is a little study of a tree and how it connects with its surroundings. I took this photo a few years back in the North of England in the Lake District (Cumbria). I love how the light filters through the canopies and […]

The Great Intake is the intriguing name of the dark mountain on the background of this painting. Part of series of artworks dedicated to the Cumbrian landscape.
Lingmoor Fell is the hill on the right of the painting. Part of series of artworks dedicated to this beautiful region of the North of England.

My wife takes daily photos of this field near Wendover Canal in Buckinghamshire, England. I was intrigued by the colour of this one. Comment from a follower: There is a certain universality of fields— before I saw where you were from, I thought it was a midwest field. Love it! Nancy Goodwine ‘Yellow Field’ is featured […]
