About "Artist" Frames
An oil painting from the book titled "Paintings of South Shropshire" Hazler Wood on the left and Ragleth Hill on the right where, at the top, the Millennium Beacon was lit, rise pure and pragmatic into a late in the year sky. Amazingly beautiful. Ragleth is composed of ancient volcanic rock. The same rock that forms the Giant's Causeway in Ireland and its' wood is pre-Cambrian. It is one of the prominent features of Church Stretton in South Shropshire, England, on the road to a town called Ludlow in one direction, famous for its food and drink in modern times, and Shrewsbury in the other, istorically famous for Cadfael, fictional detective in Ellis Peters novels, and English naturalist Darwin, who demonstrated that all species of life evolved from common ancestors through natural selection.
We live in this area "of outstanding natural beauty" in what is called "The Marches" in the West Midlands, Great Britain, and the scenery is exceptional in every way;  there is some of everything - wetlands, pasture, hills, valleys and lowlands and and of course English rural wildlife and farming and people come to enjoy and walk or cycle and drive here for their pleasure. Our studio is surrounded with beautiful vistas and we can see Hazler and Ragleth from the studio - very inspirational and a balm to the soul. Peter lacks nothing in the "what shall I paint' department and takes advantage of this fact.
This picture images Hazler and Ragleth in October through January with wonderful colourings: the sun setting in the evening and the "Last Light" streaming obliquely through the trees that grow in profusion at the base of the Hills. It was a joy to create and hangs in the premises of one of our stockists in Church Stretton, the famous Hollybush Cafe, the oldest traditional tea room in the town that, apart from its attraction of selling traditional English Tea Room fayre, also has an interior that coincidentally looks like an Art gallery, and so is a natural and indeed successful place to site a permanent, but ever-changing, display of the Artist's Rural works.

Painted in oil and acrylic on wood panel, it evokes the mood and serenity of the landscape and we show it to you here as part of our RURAL DREAMS portfolio.
