I found out about Peter Lanyon because he was a related search when I was looking for a similar British artist and I like his work quite a bit. He seems to use very calm colours and compositions. His use of very expressionistic brush strokes is something I admire because my work has been very controlled so far and it seems liberating to make the marks that Lanyon does so it is something I may experiment with in coming weeks.
I especially like the image on the right, it has a sparseness to it that is interrupted with really nice reds and yellows. I generally just like the flowing composition, it gives it a tranquillity that I would like to capture with my work.
