Portfolio 3. Studies of Grosmont Woods and the Esk Valley, near Whitby

In Peter Hicks' work there are no buildings, no fences, no farms, no animals or people in the painter's interpretation of the landscape. It is as if these trappings of civilization upset the harmony of the landscape so they are eliminated; they have no part to play. The pure drama of the landscape remains.

The landscapes and scenery of the Derbyshire Dales, The Lake District in Cumbria, The Yorkshire Dales, The Northern Pennines and The North Yorkshire Moors of Northern England have not only provided excellent walking and touring country for several hundred years but have also inspired the work of many artists whose paintings pay homage to the great natural beauty of the landscape around us. The work of such artists, in turn, has historically led to a greater interest and appreciation of the 'robust' landscapes of Northern England. The work of Peter Hicks should encourage to people to visit these wonderful scenic areas, and hopefully, those 'tourists' who know these areas well, appreciate his stunning interpretation of what is around them whether on foot or in the car!
