Peter Ainsworth

LANDSCAPES IN PASTEL

A self-taught painter working largely in soft pastels, Peter likes to explore how a landscape changes in mood and aspect under different weather conditions and as the seasons follow one another.

The East Riding and Yorkshire Wolds provide Peter’s main inspiration just now; the Lincolnshire Wolds afford similar opportunities.

Another area he explores for subjects lies just south of Sheffield in NE Derbyshire on the hillsides between the villages of Ford and Marsh Lane.

Peter moved to the East Riding of Yorkshire in 2019 after an academic career in Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield. He has a lifelong love of architecture, art and painting and currently paints at Calf House Studios just outside Bishop Burton.
