David Dipnall's evocative images of the restful pastoral scenes of Southern England are well known, epitomising, as they have for years, all that is endearing about traditional art values in English Landscapes.

What is not perhaps so widely known is that in the course of achieving that unique sense of "presence" in his pictures, a sense of being "home", he travels many miles away from his chosen subject.

Always a traveller, he believes in the philosophy that 'absence' makes the heart grow fonder' and Dipnall does paint from the heart. He estimates that he has travelled about 1.5 million miles in the last decade in maintaining a busy schedule of exhibitions and commuting between his homes in England and Australia.

Having exhibited for over 25 years, Dipnall has become recognised as one of the finest traditional landscape painters of the modern era.

In 2002, he was awarded the Fine Art Trade Guild's highest accolade as the best-selling published artist in the United Kingdom, after numerous placings in the top ten throughout previous years.
