Summertime Grasses by John Skinner
A Field of Dreams in Summertime
John Skinner’s “Summertime Grasses,” a limited edition Giclée print, captures the beauty of the English countryside. This piece features long grasses in the foreground, with rolling fields stretching to the horizon. The artwork invites the viewer to take in the tranquility of the pastoral scene.
Whispers in the Wind
The tall grasses dominate the foreground, swaying gently in the breeze. Beyond them, rolling fields stretch into the distance. They are punctuated by distant trees and hills. Moreover, the sky above is filled with dramatic clouds, and the colours add depth and atmosphere to the scene.
A Symphony of Light and Shade
Skinner’s use of light and shade creates a sense of depth and perspective. The foreground is rich with varying tones of green. Furthermore, the distant hills fade into soft shades of blue. Because of this, the eye follows the landscape to the horizon. The piece captures the beauty of the natural world.
A Touch of Serenity
“Summertime Grasses” evokes a sense of peace and tranquility, and brings a touch of rural beauty to any space. The colours and textures are stunning. Indeed, it would make an inspiring addition to any art collection.

A New Home and Inspiration
Now residing in Teignmouth with his family, John finds inspiration in the natural beauty of his surroundings. He often wanders along the estuary, moorlands, and coastal paths, allowing the landscape to influence his work.
Creating for Connection
