Artists Statement: Mountains Mainly….

Mountains have always inspired me, from the first time I stayed in a small mountain village in the Dolomite s in 1999, and in later years, a tour by coach of some Swiss mountains , including a train journey on the famous Glacier Express and a trip to Norway, which included a train trip from Oslo to Bergen.
All these trips have stayed in the memory and with the use of sketchbooks that I have from my travels of the various motifs go towards the make up of a painting. Turner used sketchbooks extensively when traveling and would then work up his painting back at the studio.
This Small exhibition Mountains Mainly is part of ongoing research in part of the build up to the Degree Show in June ending Three years of studying for my B.A (Hons ) here at Portsmouth University

J.M.W.Turner and The Himalayas!

I was surprised to discover this image whilst browsing this collection of Turner‘s paintings at The National Galleries of Scotland.

Turner never did go to the Himalayas! He based this painting on a sketch h made by someone else a  Lieutenant George Francis White.

This is a good example of how Turner used his experience e of other Mountains that he had seen and  combined this with the sketch that the Lieutenant had done.
Here are some more examples of Lt-Cole George Francis White
