Some of my sketches from Over Owler Tor – an imposing, fortress-like gritstone rock formation above the Surprise View near Hathersage in the Derbyshire Peak District.
SKETCHBOOK: Over Owler Tor
SHOP: Storm over the Dark Peak
An original Peak District landscape painting inspired by a rain storm over the Dark Peak, Derbyshire. I love the drama of the pink sky looming over and the bleak moor beneath, and the suggestion of rain bouncing off the gritstone escarpments.
I created this contemporary Peak District landscape art using ink, conte crayon and watercolour blocks on 300gsm smooth watercolour paper. Measuring A3 (297 x 420mm) it can be easily framed yourself in a standard sized frame, or framed professionally for a more personal look. A lovely gift for UK walkers and hikers or for anyone with connections in the Peak District.
For sale online at £90 unframed (including free UK shipping) from my Folksy shop.

SHOP: Over Owler Tor II
An original Peak District watercolour landscape painting of Over Owler Tor from Little Moor near Hathersage, Derbyshire.

SKETCHBOOK: Little Moor, Hathersage
A couple of sketchbook pages I forgot to post from February. These were drawn from Little Moor on the road from Ringinglow to Hathersage. The first is of Winyard’s Nick and the second of Over Owler Tor and the start/end of Millstone Edge. I decided to exaggerate the purple and lime green!
It’s hard to believe these photos were taken in February. As I was sitting with my back against the wall in the sunshine, a stoat, looking completely out of place in its white winter coat, popped its head out about 3 meters away, looked at me and hopped off up the field.
SHOP: Curbar Edge I and II
Two contemporary Peak District landscape paintings of Curbar Edge near the Chatsworth Estate in Derbyshire. I’ve tried to capture the mood of this rugged gritstone escarpment in winter and the burnt oranges of the grasses and bracken on the moor below.
