Ashley Jackson (b.1940 )
Original watercolour painting, depicting a view of a continental coastline, possibly Spain, from where the artist spent time and had family descendants. This original work is by the renowned British artist Ashley Jackson (b.1940 ), and is a change from his more recognisable, classic often bleak moorland scenes usually under dramatic skies.
Ashley Jackson was born in Penang, Malaysia, and moved to Yorkshire aged 9. He decided as a teenager that he wanted to be an artist, and after an initial spell as a signwriter, he progressed to becoming a professional artist, opening his first gallery in Dodworth in 1963. He initially used to paint en plein air, but today chooses to use sketchbooks outdoors and paint in his studio. He is one of the country’s best known and most successful watercolour artists, dubbed ‘the Yorkshire Artist’, his evocative paintings are gritty and atmospheric, often depicting gathering storm clouds, or layers of light after the heavens have opened. Today he has a gallery in the pretty Yorkshire town of Holmfirth, and not being a prolific painter, his work is cherished and much sought after when it does come to market, and features in fortunate collections across the globe.
