About the Item

English Countryside painting with Thatched Cottage, River & Cows Grazing by British Artist Art measures 24 x 18 inches Frame measures 29 x 23 inches This captivating original painting by Richard Wood beautifully encapsulates the timeless charm of the English countryside, offering a serene and picturesque view that draws the viewer into its tranquil world. The composition is masterfully balanced, with a lush riverside foreground guiding the eye toward a charming thatched-roof cottage nestled among verdant trees. The gentle reflections on the water, the play of sunlight on the landscape, and the idyllic presence of grazing cows create a harmonious scene that exudes peace and rural elegance. Wood’s exquisite attention to detail shines through in the delicate rendering of foliage, the soft movement of clouds across a brilliant blue sky, and the depth of light and shadow, evoking a deep sense of nostalgia and connection to nature. His brushwork captures the essence of a warm summer’s day, making this piece a perfect investment for collectors of traditional landscape art. Framed beautifully to enhance its impact, this painting is a statement piece that will bring a sense of tranquility and classic beauty to any collection. Whether displayed in a country home or an urban setting seeking a touch of nature’s serenity, this work is a rare opportunity to own an original Richard Wood - a testament to the enduring beauty of the British landscape. Richard Wood was born in London in 1950. After leaving school he worked in the Design Department at a Wood Mill before moving to Cornwall to work and study under artist John Miller (1931-2002) in 1974. He has always been drawn to the natural landscape and moved to Lancashire to explore this further, painting the rural scenery in Lancashire, The Lake District and Yorkshire. Richard Wood was born in London in 1950 but in early adolescence his family moved to Wiltshire where he remained until 1971. Throughout his school days he exhibited a flair for drawing and painting and upon leaving school joined an old established Wood Mill as a junior in the design department. In 1974 he was invited by John Miller, ARA, an established landscape painter, to study and work with him in his studio at Sancreed, Cornwall. This was perhaps, the most positive influence on his creative style and was to be a release of energy working with a sympathetic like minded professional. From this period Richard Wood has been a full time self employed artist providing himself with a regular income. He now lives and works in Lancashire, his studio overlooks attractive hills and unspoilt countryside. Since moving to Lancashire his work and style have progressively developed. In the early days he painted marine subjects, concentrating on the Tea Clipper era. However, his studio environment and his interest drew him towards the natural landscape, working through industrial scenes to the capturing of the different moods of the everchanging seasons in a traditional English landscape style. Subjects include extensive work in the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and the relatively unknown Bowland area of Lancashire. His style can best be described as factual and classical with strong composition, good detail and emphasis on the relationship of trees and skies to the overall landscape. Oil on canvass is his preferred medium with a mix of both bold and tight brushwork. Vintage, 20th Century, Original, Signed, Oil on Canvas.
