From the Inner Farne (2025) Original Oil Painting by Malcolm Ludvigsen

This is the view from the inner Farne Island (on the coast of Northumberland) looking towards the mainland on a slightly misty morning. I tried to capture the subtle reflections in the sea from the equally subtle shades in the clouds. I was more interested in mood and innuendo than anything.
It's the view St Cuthbert would have seen every morning.

It's unframed but ready to hang.

This is an original seascape painting by Malcolm 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. In 2013 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.
