@houbahoubahop I think I recognise this menu - Church Lane in Tavistock?

Anyway, have a dose of moodiness.

@pete it’s all very much got a find and replace vibe…

I'm a big fan of the work of landscape artist Andrew Hardwick, so it was a real treat to interview him for the Dartmoor Collective website about his artistic practice and to find out more about how Dartmoor has influenced his work.

Follow the link to read the interview: bit.ly/DCANDHWK

Dartmoor, Pale Yellow Sky - a painting by artist Andrew Hardwick. It's a highly stylised / abstract depiction of a moorland landscape under pale winter light. The paint is built up in contoured and textured layers of paint and other mixed media and found materials which evoke the rugged and layered nature of the moor itself.

Penmaenmawr Quarry from Penmon Point

A view of Penmaenmawr granite quarry taken from seaward. The mountainside is gouged with the levels and terraces of the workings, with some areas of loose scree. Some bright flashes of yellow gorse and rust-coloured bracken break up the otherwise drab colours whilst the clefts are in heavy shadow. The ridge of the mountain range beyond is visible in the distance.

Next up on our little retrospective of last year’s exhibition is @mariafloydart whose work will be known and admired by many of you.

The exhibition this year will run for an additional couple of days, from Thursday the 24th until Monday the 28th. It will again be at @poltimore_house.

The Open Call to visual artists will go live on the 1st of June and we would encourage artists of all visual mediums to apply. Last year’s exhibition was an amazing success.

On the 1st of June we will be launching an Open Call to visual artists to participate in our Summer Exhibition.

In the run up to that I thought I’d wet your appetite with a little retrospective of those who exhibited with us last year at @poltimore_house

“The Light that Leads to You” by @clare_rogers2. Clare’s work on and around Dartmoor is a masterclass in print making and understanding of the light on the Moor.

Early start for Ten Tors training drop off at Oke camp.

Today our 13 year old son and his team are walking 32 miles across Dartmoor - North to South.

We couldn’t be prouder of him. Looking forward to hearing tales of bottomless bogs and soggy boots later tonight.

Enough of the pretty pictures of Dartmoor. Let's return to business.

Granite and Water define Dartmoor. These images detail those moments when the two meet. One of the images is 175 years in the making, the other lasted less than 1/2000th of a second. But, to my eyes, they ate very very similar; the meeting of these two create thousands of worlds and possibilities.

@ianlewis I was more referring to the fact that it's seen as a bit of a Dartmoor photo cliche. The ponies mostly do a good job of conservation grazing.
