Dark Skies over Derwent Water in the English Lake District by British Artist, Rex Preston. This is a rare early atmospheric work in impasto oils from 1972, using sepia colours, in very good original condition. There is an evocative sense of the light beating down onto the water in this painting. Reframed in a high quality black wooden moulding, signed and dated on the front of the canvas, with full authentication. Art measures 30 x 20 inches Frame measures 36 x 26 inches Born in Birmingham in 1948, Rex Preston is one of the UK's leading landscape artists. He trained at Newcastle under Lyme School of Art and then Derby College of Art. Rex Preston has lived in Derbyshire for most of his life and although his home area of the Peak District and Pennines has exerted a huge influence on his painting, he travels the UK searching for favourite subjects such as Cornwall or the Lake District.
