From the slopes, Buxton Spa is an original oil painting by Nick Grove.
Painted in 2019 for the Buxton Spa Open Prize. Highly commended. Original oil paintings by Nick Grove.
Built from lived looking rather than invention, it captures what drew the eye and wouldn’t let go. The focus is on truthful relationships—value, colour, and the quiet drama of ordinary surroundings.
The subject is ordinary in the best way: familiar architecture and everyday light becoming unexpectedly moving. The composition was chosen to emphasise depth and direction, letting the eye travel naturally through the scene.
The hope is that it brings a sense of place into the room—quiet, steady, and real.
