'Burning the Stubble, Cley Mill, Norfolk' by Peter Symonds captures the timeless charm of the Norfolk landscape. The painting depicts the iconic Cley windmill, red-roofed cottages, and reed beds set against a soft sky, with smoke rising from burning stubble in the distance. Symonds beautifully conveys the atmosphere of rural East Anglia, blending history, tradition and natural beauty in this evocative view of one of Norfolk’s most recognisable landmarks.
From the granite cliffs of Cornwall to the wooded banks of the River Wey, Peter Symonds invites the viewer into a world of quiet majesty and luminous detail. His paintings, reveal a profound sensitivity to light, weather and terrain. An avid walker and mountaineer, Peter has climbed the very peaks and trodden the footpaths that later appear in his work. His intimate knowledge of each location, earned on foot and in all weathers, lends his compositions a rare authenticity and emotional depth. Every canvas begins with a walk, each view is shaped by experience.
Working exclusively in oils, Peter distils atmosphere through a balance of expressive brushwork and crisp detail. His paintings reveal a lived experience: the crispness of Highland air or the hush of dusk on Cornish sands. Peter’s paintings are reflections of a life spent outdoors and are a tribute to the places that have stirred him most.
