Blenheim Lake
£800.00
notes
Blenheim Lake by Rupert Aker is a richly textured oil on canvas depicting the serene sweep of water at the heart of Blenheim Palace’s parkland. Reflections ripple across the lake in soft greens and steel blues, while bold, gestural strokes evoke the wooded banks and shifting sky above. Rooted in a sense of place, this work would suit a quiet interior—such as a study or sitting room—and would appeal especially to those drawn to Oxfordshire’s historic landscapes.

Insights
Using oil paints and palette knives to create impressionist-style paintings, Aker works directly from nature ‘en plein air’ wherever possible, specifically during his walks through Cotswold towns and landscapes. Larger paintings are then finished off in his studio, cleverly coined ‘The Loovre’ due to the location being a conversion of an old public toilet.
Artist
Rupert is a landscape painter, based in Painswick. His aim is to hold regular pop-up exhibitions in locations throughout the Cotswolds, presenting his art in the landscape that inspired them. Often selling paintings straight off the easel, Aker thrives off the notion of people purchasing freshly produced works of art as they would buy a freshly cut bouquet of flowers.
