BIG SKIES Collection

I’m such an outdoors person and just love being outside, whether it’s spending time with the children on our bikes or walking the fells of the lake district with the dog. I draw so much inspiration as an artist from being outside and it really does condition and reinvigorate my soul.

Spending most of my time in Yorkshire and the Lake District I see a lot of stunning landscapes which are always so beautiful. This love for sensational backdrops and vistas started early in my career as I was drawn to them during my travels which I’ve captured in many of my pieces. These big dramatic skies are the focus of my latest collection, along with some familiar faces.

Owning An Original QUALITY

From the materials used throughout the creative process, to the finishing stages of framing and glass selection, a Lucy Pittaway original exudes quality.

Each original is created using hand-made soft pastels. Produced by Unison Colour in Northumberland, these pastels were originally developed by artist John Hersey in the 1980s and provide the level of exquisite colour and texture which Lucy is known for, and the lightfastness of each pastel accommodates Lucy’s vivid and playful creative process.

Their longevity is a promise to Lucy, and her buyers, that artworks will remain bold and beautiful over time.

Original works are framed by our trusted and experienced framer here in Yorkshire. Frames are chosen specifically for each piece to showcase the quality and character of the original.

Big Skies Collection original pieces include a black bevelled frame and museum quality glass for added protection. Museum quality glass means your original is protected, whilst also reducing any potential glare. It possesses a special coating that eliminates UV light that can cause fading. This means your picture keeps its vibrancy long-term, and the artwork will display without interference.

INVESTMENT

Lucy’s ongoing status as a multi-award-winning* artist means her originals hold a strong place in the commercial art market. The national admiration for Lucy’s work and the ever-growing appetite of buyers, mean that Lucy’s originals have attracted investors from around the world. Iconic Lucy Pittaway Limited Edition prints continue to sell out, increasing the value of the original pieces.

We understand the importance of provenance and therefore provide a Certificate of Authentication and an insurance valuation with all original pieces.

HAPPINESS

Above all, to own a Lucy Pittaway original is to own a little piece of happiness. The best reason to buy an original is because you, or someone close to you, have fallen in love with a picture. It will make you smile whenever you see it, or continue to remind you of someone special. You might already have an existing collection you wish to add to, or perhaps owning your very own original is something you aspire to.

Your chosen original reflects your personality and is a great topic of conversation. Art is truly personal, and the genuine value of an original is its one-of-a-kind nature - an irreplaceable work that is all yours. You also share a small part of Lucy’s story as you become the owner of a piece of art history.

*Awards include ‘UK’s Most Popular Published Artist 2022’ by the Fine Art Trade Guild.

ARTIST PROOFS

During the creative process of preparing a new image for release, Lucy carries out a proofing process. Here she makes small changes to things such as brightness, contrast or colour variations until she is happy with the final outcome. This then becomes the final version which is used to print. This makes these Artist Proofs a one-off and incredibly unique with usually only 10-20 available in each image. Our Artist Proofs are provided as Mounted only. If you would like your Artist Proof framed, please contact the gallery.
