Dartmoor

Dartmoor by Margaret Micklewright

About the artist

"I love working on location, preferably in wet and windy conditions to really capture feelings that are generated by the landscape around me. I enjoy the interference or adaption from weather conditions at that time.

I am influenced by the landscape of the South West, from the Cornish Coastline and Kilve in Somerset to Orkney and some of the lovely Scottish Islands in between. I love to paint landscapes which show little evidence of human intervention. I am currently working on a body of work based on wonderful Dartmoor. The latest works can be seen under landscapes in the gallery.

I use acrylic and handwriting ink with a wet surface, manipulating the ink to create my work. I am working on oil paintings too, especially as influenced by my trips to Dartmoor."
