Sunday’s Cloud 30 x 30” Oil

“. . . the landscape is always there, as something eternal, the ever-changing muse, always present, yet never the same.”

Richard K. Blades describes himself as, “. . . primarily an expressive landscape artist, painting in the English Romantic tradition.” His works capture essences—the brief powerful moment of sunset, the final lingering light of dusk and the brilliant burst of color in a spring blossom. His love affair with the light, the land and the sea is translated into paint—a gift to the viewer who is invited to walk with him along the coastline and to witness the power of Nature. In addition to painting, Blades teaches and owns a gallery in Cromer, Norfolk, UK, called The Point Contemporary.

We asked Blades to tell us more about his inspiration, his processes and his evolution as an artist.
