Gallery one (Acrylics)
Explore Glenn Couling’s gallery of original acrylic landscape, seascape and other paintings, inspired by Dorset, Herfordshire, the UK coast and beyond. The paintings in this gallery span the landscapes and seascapes that have inspired me the most: the chalk headlands of the Dorset coast, woodland walks in Spring. Alpine peaks emerging through cloud and the luminous stillness of moored boats at dusk.
