About the Item

Sheep by Mountain River Waterfall in the Lake District of England - an Original Oil on Canvas by 20th Century Modern British Artist, Peter Coulthard. Art measures 30 x 20 inches Frame measures 36 x 26 inches There is something deeply restorative about this painting. Peter Coulthard captures the Lake District not as a postcard, but as a lived landscape quiet, vast, and emotionally grounding. The composition opens out into rolling mountain forms, softened by distance and atmospheric light, while a ribbon of waterfall cuts down through the hills like a natural pulse running through the scene. In the foreground, the grazing sheep add a gentle sense of scale and calm rhythm. They are small, almost incidental, yet they anchor the painting in something timeless and human the enduring presence of rural life beneath monumental scenery. The riverbed and rocky edges guide the eye inward, drawing you naturally toward the falls and then upward into the layered mountain ranges beyond. Coulthard’s palette is especially appealing. The warm ochres, moss greens, and russet tones create a golden late summer glow, contrasted beautifully by cooler greys and blues in the distant peaks. That balance of warmth and atmosphere makes the painting incredibly easy to live with it brings light into a room without overpowering it. This is a statement landscape with real serenity. It offers escapism, space, and quiet luxury the kind of work that transforms a wall into a window. Perfect for collectors drawn to British landscape painting, interiors inspired by heritage and nature, or anyone wanting a piece that feels like a breath of fresh air every time you look at it. Original Oil Painting. Signed on the lower right. Presented in the original ornate frame. Peter Coulthard was brought up in the Pennine countryside and his outdoor working life have given him a deep knowledge and understanding of nature and the elements, and his paintings show high levels of technical ability, skill and quality. These qualities, together with his clever use of light, his draughtsmanship skills, a keen eye for detail and a fine sense of atmosphere combine to create a standard of work of the very highest calibre. He paints in oils on canvas and his dramatic landscapes usually feature his favourite Lake District scenes.
