Glynn Ward Painting Style and Inspiration

Glynn's love of art was reignited on his move to Lancashire. It was a turning point in his career, and he states himself ‘that I never really thought Lancashire would have become my home and capture my heart the way it has done’. Being out and about and meeting so many amazing people and seeing so many different and interesting places has inspired me to want to paint more.

Glynn Ward does not have a particular favourite subject matter and will often paint a series of pictures on a topic that he has found interesting and will paint in detail and focus on the movement and light in each painting.

His work is often on a larger scale, and his beautiful wide boat and cottage have been adorned with the many pieces of work he has created. Glynn’s work is both a personal and a proactive journey for those looking, Glynn himself had suffered a spate of ill health which gives him a ‘Liber comme l’air’ attitude. His signature is not just his work, and Glynn is renowned locally for his vibrant dress style, which he casually carries through from social lunches to high society dinners and functions.

There is a captivation in each painting, whether that is the detail in the leaves on a tree, or the colours of the waves in a coastal subject, or the light refractions of landscape.

Glynn's work is emotive. He wants you to be part of the picture journey, with each detail there is a twist and turn in his art and in his work. He wants the viewer to question and reason with each piece, whether that is painting that conveys realism, photorealism, abstract, impressionism, and expressionism, Glynn’s work will take you on separate journeys of the heart and the mind.

His painting and work reflect his soul and his moods, his inspiration comes from the greats, Da Vinci, Matisse, Monet, Munch, Picasso, Rothko and Close. Glynn captures each piece with essence, vigour, and a command to investigate the subject matter at the very least. He loves open discussion and debate about his work, and openly asks the viewers to discuss how the personal images of something close him can reignite an emotion we recognise in us all.
