‘Monday in Cornwall’ from 1978 is one of a series of ‘holiday’ paintings of an area Peter Brook knew well. Not surprisingly, he was attracted by its iconic ruined engine houses, a legacy of the once thriving tin mining industry. (For sale at Liss Llewellyn Fine Art)

Peter Brook needed only a few simple landscape features to produce an interesting composition, ‘A Gap in the Wall’ providing the perfect opportunity for Shep to peer round the corner, leaving us wondering what it is that has caught his attention. (Exhibited @ACArtGallery in 2020)

Ponden Reservoir coming to life at 5:15am this morning. By this time, a few geese, ducks and a curlew had joined in with the cockerels.

‘Heading for the Humber’ is an unusual subject for Peter Brook, who painted very few coastal scenes. The painting is however typical in many ways with the solitary ship on an otherwise empty sea and the usual focus on light, including the trademark touch of pink on the horizon.

The return of wintry weather to the North York Moors by all accounts this morning, with conditions apparently not unlike Peter Brook’s ‘At First Rain - Then Snow and now Sleet’. Wonder if they were doing TEAs there today.

Today is the 92nd anniversary of the Kinder Scout Mass Trespass, marking the beginning of the right-to-roam movement, of which Peter Brook would have approved. It’s no coincidence that in paintings like ‘Thinking He’d Heard a Dog Bark’ he purposely ignores a notice to ‘Keep Out’.

Pennine ruins flanked by stunted trees and redundant telegraph poles was very much Peter Brook’s stock in trade while in ‘Drawing an Abandoned Farm just as the Sun Goes Down’ the vast, empty expanse of sky and snow-covered land adds to the sense of a lost struggle for survival.

‘Washing on a Terraced Street, Sowerby Bridge’, one of Peter Brook’s best known early works, portrays the town’s Chapel Street on a Monday, the multi-coloured lines of laundry contrasting with the soot-blackened houses and bringing the painting to life. (Sold by Bonhams in 2009)

Like many before him and since, Peter Brook was fascinated by Charlotte Brontë, born OTD in 1816 and @GroomB’s ‘Northerner of the Day’, the rugged landscapes often associated with the Yorkshire author portrayed in paintings like ‘Passing a Brontë Farm’. (Sold at Hartleys in 2015)

‘TEAS’ painted on the gable end of Peter Brook’s remote Pennine farmhouses was a favourite motif. No doubt, refreshments were sometimes available to ramblers, but in ‘A Pot of Tea & a Bacon Tea Cake Will Do Nicely’ Peter does not seem to be receiving a particularly warm welcome.

Peter Brook’s fundamental belief held that the ordinary was interesting, exemplified in paintings like ‘Making a Careful Drawing of that Group of Trees by the Gate Posts and it’s Quite Cold’, in which a few simple landscape features combine to produce an effective composition.

‘Tan Hill - A Pub with Attitude - The Highest in England’, 528m above sea level in splendid isolation at the top of Swaledale, was just Peter Brook’s sort of place. Well used to extreme weather, at -1.2°C it was the joint coldest of @northyorkswx’s weather stations this morning.

Sudden, sharp downpours again today and on the scale of ‘I/C Cakes’, one of Peter Brook’s series of paintings featuring his local agricultural shows where the distinctively shaped gala tents with their often incongruous notices appealed to his sense of humour. (Sold by @clarkart)

On a very windy Monday everywhere, today’s post almost had to be ‘Blowing in the Wind - With a Dog Called Bob and a Cat Called Dylan - P.T.O.’, one of Peter Brook’s best known and most idiosyncratic later works, in which the title is an indispensable part of the painting.

Some of Peter Brook’s early work was surprisingly colourful, as seen in this view of the Yorkshire seaside village of ‘Staithes’, its huddle of harbour-side buildings with their distinctive red roof tiles creating a particularly vibrant painting . (Bradford Museums and Galleries)

With warmer weather having finally arrived over the last couple of days it’s time for Peter Brook’s ‘Ruins - In Spring’, a painting of one of his favourite abandoned farmhouses with a hole in the roof, given a seasonal feel by the inclusion of a ewe and its lamb in the sunshine.
