Quarry Bottom

Oliver Akers Douglas is an artist whose work intrigues me. I've discussed his work previously here and here and I'm not entirely convinced that nostalgia doesn't play a large part in what I love about his work. But I've learned that it is just churlish to question these things.

Quarry Bottom, 2009, oil on canvas, 38×44

I love reading your B L O G! it's lovely. all of it . the art reviews, TS Elliott . I'm sorry I cant get to it everyday but it's always there when I have time to catch up. I think Quarry Bottom a gem (as well as I can tell in reproduction), easy to go into and unwind. Maybe that's the mountains of NC in my.
and by the way, I would love to even visit the Orkney Islands much less live ther for a year! feeding chickens or otherwise! lots of love~

Beautiful painting - I've never heard of this artist but I recognise an English quarry when I see one!

Thanks for the tip off and happy 2011.
