Emily Fowke  Oil Paintings 




About my Work:

My work is inspired by the natural and agricultural landscape. I work in oils with an interest in realistic detail combined with a lyrical response to atmosphere, texture and colour harmonies.

I am mainly self taught and have been developing my art work from my early twenties alongside other work. I find landscape painting a really great way to connect with the inspiration of the natural world, so it is always a source of excitement and delight. 

Current Projects:

Exploring the Fenland areas around Cambridge in different seasons and looking at details in the landscape. I keep being tempted by the impact of bright frosty light falling on the flat fen landscape - there is quite often a very brilliant light and when the landscape is frozen it's really magical.

Also I am exploring still life in watercolour and some some drawings from imagination, relating to figures and pattern.
