May Blossom, Dartmoor
For Sale Oil painting by David W Young. 40" X 30"
On the western flanks of Dartmoor adjoining the Tavy valley you will find the old hill farms with their granite walled fields creeping up the valley sides till they come up against the harsher conditions of the open moor.
One such farm is Stannon and it is here that I have painted this old and magnificent Hawthorn that stands in one of these fields. In addition to the beauty of the May blossom that coats this tree, the fields in this area are swathed in Bluebells and Celandine which contrast with the rich greens which have burst forth after the harsh winter that this part of the West Country endures.

Breaking Waves
For Sale » Oil painting by David W Young. 36" X 24".
This painting depicts breaking waves on the the north Devon coast. I deliberately excluded a foreshore and a sky so as to immerse the viewer entirely in the sensation of the sea. it has been painted on a fairly large canvas to increase that sensation.
This was a very satisfying painting to do. The subtle range of hues, the movement and light gave me a hard but exciting challenge

Grimspound,Dartmoor
For Sale » Oil painting by David Young 40" X 20"
Available for viewing & sale from Mayflower Galleries, Tavistock, Devon.
Grimspound is a Bronze Age village on the eastern side of Dartmoor. Surrounded by a granite wall called a 'pound' to safely keep in livestock, it was believed to contain at least twenty four thatched granite round houses. I have painted this panoramic scene looking westwards into the heart of the moor.

Burrator Panorama
For Sale » Oil Painting by David Young 40" X 20"
In this oil painting I depict Burrator Reservoir and Sheeps Tor with Snapper Tor to the foreground. (Snapper Tor isn't named on most maps though with it's prominence in the landscape it fully deserves a mention).
I am really pleased with this work as I feel it conveys the grandeur of the landscape which is found on this part of the moor. I have put particular effort into the effects of the sky with its rays of light cutting through the clouds to water below.

Hawthorn in a Dartmoor Sunset
For Sale » Oil Painting by David W Young Framed size1530 x 540mm
This painting encapsulates so many of the emotions that run through me with my relationship with that granite and peat upland called Dartmoor. There is the big sky that so often produces a remarkable sunset after a long wet and dismal day. Then there are the long grasses and gorse interspersed with granite clitter with their age old sheep tracks that guide me through this landscape. Finally there is the hawthorn whose small and twisted size belies a great age lived in harsh conditions.
I painted the sun setting in the heart of this great gnarled, thorny tree almost as an act of reverence.
