Bring home the drama of the British landscape
Peter Dworok's oil paintings depict the dramatic and familiar landscapes of the Lake District, the North Yorkshire Moors, the Peak District and the Isle of Skye.
His work, which can be viewed and purchased at the art gallery, captures the theatre of tempestuous weather for which these landscapes are renowned - hills lost in a leaden sky with a glimpse of sunshine promising a welcome interlude to the wind and rain of a passing storm.
Why choose an oil painting?
Working in oils, Peter's original art at The Barn Gallery beautifully portrays the colours, mood and tones that the British weather brings to the landscape.
By using layers of oils and complementary techniques, his paintings offer a depth of tone and texture that brings each scene to life.
• Original oil paintings by Peter Dworok range from £30 to £2000, making original art affordable for all.
• Signed, limited edition prints are available at the art gallery from £15.
Peter Dworok's artistic career
Born in Nottinghamshire, Peter Dworok studied art at Nottingham College of Art and Design and Leeds Polytechnic Faculty of Art and Design.

On moving back to Nottinghamshire, he helped to establish Rufford Craft Centre as a centre for excellence in the applied arts, on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council.
