Purbeck Viewpoint Looking Towards Poole Harbour presents a sweeping rural panorama rendered with Ian Hargreaves’ signature realism and compositional clarity. Executed in oil on canvas, the painting unfolds in gentle layers of land, water, and sky, guiding the viewer across the landscape with a sense of natural rhythm. The elevated viewpoint creates a feeling of openness and distance, reinforcing the vastness of the scene.
The palette is grounded in earthy greens, muted ochres, and soft browns, punctuated by cooler blues that define the harbour beyond. These tonal shifts subtly describe depth and atmosphere, while the sky remains light and expansive, dotted with soft cloud forms that echo the rolling contours below. The restrained use of colour enhances the painting’s sense of balance and calm.
Hargreaves’ approach is observational yet expressive, capturing not just the physical landscape but its quiet emotional resonance. The painting invites contemplation, offering a moment of visual pause that feels both timeless and deeply connected to place.

Overlooking Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay - Plein Air Landscape in Oil on Canvas
By Brian Rounds
Located in Soquel, CA
Overlooking Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay - Plein Air Landscape in Oil on Canvas
Gorgeous plein air landscape of Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay by Brian Rounds (American, b. 1968). Grey-purple clouds have rolled in over Santa Cruz around sunset, casting shadows and creating highlights in the city. Streaks of light shine through the clouds, and there is a yellow glow at the edge of the water in the distance. This piece is completed in a loose, abstracted style that captures the rapidly changing scenery.
Signed and dated by the artist on verso.
Unframed, but the artist has painted the edges black to allow for a frame-less display.
Canvas size: 24"H x 30"W
Acquired directly from the artist.
Brian Rounds (American, b. 1968) is an award-winning artist who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and is now based out of Santa Cruz, California.

Peter Greenham was a distinguished figurative painter of portraits, landscapes and incidents from domestic life. His work was both sensitive and intelligent and like himself, without showiness or pretension. He was keeper of the Royal Academy Schools and a popular figure who taught many well-known artists including Martin Yeoman, Peter Kuhfeld, Edmund Fairfax-Lucy and Jane Corsellis.
Greenham was born in Streatham and educated at Dulwich before studying English at Magdalen College, Oxford, followed by Fine Art at the Byam Shaw School of Art in Kensington from 1936-39 under the supervision of Ernest Jackson.
After leaving Byam Shaw he became a schoolmaster at Magdalen College School, Oxford and was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1951 and an R.A. in 1960.
In 1964 he succeeded Sir Henry Rushbury as Keeper of the Royal Academy Schools, a position he held with distinction until his retirement in 1985. The Keeper has the responsibility of running the RA Schools and Greenham showed himself to have great sympathy and understanding for his students.
In retirement he was able to concentrate entirely on his painting and tended to paint places he knew well such as the Norfolk coast, Northumberland, Oxfordshire and Annecy as well as his wife, the painter Jane Dowling...
