The exhibition opens on Saturday, October 5, and runs until Sunday, October 20, showcasing 26 new oil paintings of the Lake District.

Peter Symonds, a self-taught artist, has been praised for his unmatched depictions of the Lake District by his former mentor, wildlife artist David Shepherd.

Symonds' creative process begins with long walks across the fells, where he searches for the perfect composition.

His explorations often lead him to conquer all the Wainwrights, as he absorbs the beauty of the landscape.

Back in his purpose-built studio in Surrey, Symonds uses his experiences to create his masterpieces.

His paintings, known for their exquisite brushwork and incredible use of light, capture the very essence of the Lake District.

Symonds' landscapes stir emotions and convey the majestic beauty of the area.

Each painting, priced from £2,150, is a testament to his skill and has earned him a reputation as one of the finest landscape artists of his generation.

Peter Symonds, who lives in Surrey with his wife Vanessa, enjoys spending his free time on the golf course or cycling.
