Amy Cowell

Through my landscape paintings I try to capture the intrinsic beauty, serenity and deep warm colours of the English countryside, transporting viewers to the location whether it is one they have actually visited or can imagine visiting. The broad sweeping brush strokes from the oil paints enabling me to create a balance between representational accuracy and my own interpretative expression.


My still life paintings are created in a very similar way to the landscapes, but additionally, I have used a more impasto, textured application of the paint to add real depth, highlighting the natural beauty of each stunning flower.

​

Each painting is created with passion using high quality oil paints from my studio with assistance from my trusted German Shepherd.


All my portraits try to explore a wide range of emotions, techniques and moods, which hopefully you will recognise and perhaps identify with, through the facial expressions, the body language and environment of the subject in each, very individual portrait.


I hope each of my paintings offer an experience that will grow, deepen with each viewing and be a source of reflection, but above all become for you a treasured object of continuous enjoyment.
