Dave Watson
"I paint out in the woodlands and open landscape of the Dearne Valley - I am not a studio painter. Capturing light and colour as it whooshes by in the wind that seems to constantly blow around here. I use everything from quill and ink, watercolours, acrylics, to the mud at my feet to make the paper relate to the view."

"I also photograph the landscape using analogue Leica and Canon digital cameras."

Backlit woods, HIlls and Holes
2007, acrylic. 40cm x 30cm

Morag Eaton
"I paint out in the landscape. A cold winters day makes for faster, freer work. A warm summers day painting is a laid-back calm appreciation of the landscape. From the woods near where I live I can see across the bowl of the Dearne Valley. On a windy or rainy day the sky becomes complex. One minute grey, the next - rays of light flood the scene. Painting in the landscape I paint it honestly."

St Helen's, Barnburgh.
2007, acrylic. 34cm x 20cm

In 'St Helen's, Barnburgh', the copse was once the site of St Helen's chapel. Long disappeared, the stones taken for use elsewhere. It was a stopping point on a pilgrim route. As other roads became more important, it fell into disuse.
