Original artwork description:

I painted this 30x24'' oil on canvas near at Acaster Malbis just south of York. It's a proper plein-air painting, painted on the spot. I think this gives it a certain vibrancy lacking in much of studio work.

It's 30x24'', oil on canvas. It's unframed but ready to hang as it is.

This is an original landscape painting by Malcom Ludvigsen.

Malcolm Ludvigsen is a plein-air oil painter best known for his Yorkshire seascapes and beach scenes. He believes that working outside, directly in front of the subject, gives his work a life and vibrancy sadly lacking in much of studio work. His paintings can be seen in homes and galleries throughout the UK and the USA - and many other places too. He won the Oldie, £5000, British Art Award.
As well as being a painter Malcolm is also a professor of mathematics, specialising in relativity and cosmology. About 10 years ago he took a sabbatical and started painting for fun. The thing that first attracted him was John Ruskin's exhortation that all men, as part of their morning salutations, should go out and paint a picture of the sky. This sounded like a very nice thing to do, so he decided to give it a go, and he’s not stopped painting since.
