In May and early June 1792 he returned to base to the base with the Narraways in Bristol , and pressed on across the Severn estuary to Chepstow and into South Wales towards the view he had seen the previouse year
Turner A Life by James Hamilton Scepter1996
Turner was forever moving and seemed to be on another timescale as can be seen from the above quote
This scene is one of grandure in that though the Cathedral dominates the scene it is part of the landscape even if man made,with out the cathedral would there be any reason fo the artist tto be there?
Another find from Art Finder
A view through trees always gives a interesting effect on the landcape the otherside . The main focus of this p
appears to be the building beyond the tree line and the sky.
I then thought that you could start looking at the painting in a different way,considering the trees as verical lines and
dividing the painting up,looking at the seperate segments as a series of paintings
Recently discoverd this usefull Art resource site Art-Finder which has many fine paintings in its data base.
The above painting is of splendid trees and you can be assured of accuracey when you see John Constable’s trees as he spent many hours styudying them either in sketchbooks or else oil study paintings on site
The use of green can be tricky in painting too muh and it can just look,well green, but nature is about green and summer is green .
Ivon Hicthens has treated this subject well and the diffferent shades of green work well in this abstract painting,by the use of blocks he has managed to break down the overpowering reality of green
It is always interesting to look at how the artists of the past painted and the impressionist are a great source of inspiration.
The time and place are captured and you can feel yourself thee, in this case you are on the shore looking at the wonderouse cliffs perhaps/ Or being distracted by the movement of the sea and the play of sunlight on water
Always interesting to look at a painting of trees by one of my Artist Heroes and this one is no exception.
Van Gogh gets the trees just right and you get the sense of the passing of the seasons and the leaves on the trees dying
One of the trees is already has lost its leaves and therefore all you have is the skeleton of branches.
The colour of summer has gone and winter almost upon the scene
Endless possibilities with this method of painting,though do not think it will replace the feel of real paint and the touch of texture on canvas though do save on canvas and paint!
Like reading reading a proper book and proper newspaper its the feel that is the thing as well
A pencil Sketch need not be a detailed study but the idea of place.The artist here just gave a general idea and would later paint at this stage abstract stile of form and place.
Graham Sutherland was one of those essenoatly British Artists who had his own vision and related to landscape very well

This painting reminds me of warm summer days by the sea and a time to forget the routine things of life.It is of a a age long gone and there seems to be a sense of order about it as well.
The painting is by Bernard Bays
