John Geekie's Wolds Work & Style

 Plein Air Technique: He works on location across the dales and crests using a portable pochade box, working in oil (typically 12×10 inch panels) as well as pen and ink washes and iPad sketches.  

 Subject Matter: His work captures the changing seasons, hedge-lined pastures, agricultural fields, and steep-sided dry chalk valleys across both the Low and High Wolds.  

 Books & Sketchbooks: He has self-published several volumes—including Plein Air - Beverley and the Low Wolds, concertina sketchbook collections of wide panoramic landscapes, and his High Wold Book covering views from Warter to Thixendale.
