'Dawn at the Coal Barn, Thornham, Norfolk' by Peter Symonds conveys the stillness of the Norfolk coast at first light. Soft pastel skies reflect on the water, while the historic barn and moored boats stand quietly on the marsh. The painting captures the tranquillity of the morning tide and the enduring character of Thornham’s landscape, evoking both its maritime heritage and the serene beauty of the saltmarshes.
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.
