I wanted to put a few images by Fay Godwin on the blog as I have been looking at her work a lot recently. I admire her work and her landscapes especially. She seems to be able to get the essence of the British landscape without ever resorting to cliches or the sort of chocolate box approach that you see so much of. They are always fresh and never obvious, with compositions that somehow involve you in the scene. And they are 'warts and all'.
A book 'Remains of Elmet' concentrates on the landscape of the West Riding and the South Pennines that is close to where I live. It is a favourite of mine, as is the countryside in that part of the country.
Here is a small selection of her landscape work - all images copyright Fay Godwin.
