Many artists have been inspired by the grandeur of the Pennine landscape, including the great JMW Turner himself.

The region’s rolling hills, bleak moorland, dramatic weather patterns and lush valleys continue to provide material for contemporary painters, as can be seen in a new exhibition at the Harrison Lord Gallery in Brighouse.

Two of West Yorkshire’s established landscape painters, Paul Talbot-Greaves and Clare Haley, are showing a series of works that exploit the county’s scenery - from its crumbling dry stone walls and ancient pastures to moody cloud-hung crags and timeless pathways.

Each artist takes a different approach and the show highlights this contrast of styles, with Paul’s subtle watercolours and Clare’s Turner-esque, often impressionist oils.

Paul, who teaches landscape painting and has published a series of books on the topic, is president of Halifax Art Society and in 2013 won a ‘best in show’ award at Holmfirth Art Week. His work explores the open moorland and mountain terrain in the South Pennines, focusing on the pre-industrial era. Clare, who lives in the Bradford area, seeks to capture the forces of nature usually so apparent in Yorkshire and Northern landscapes – rain lashing hillsides, light through clouds and deep shadows contrasting with fleeting brightness.

The exhibition, can be seen until the end of November at the gallery on Bradford Road.
