Barry Lowenhoff from Sudbury reflects on his exciting time on Sky Arts’ Landscape Artist of the Year, despite not making it to the semi-finals
Filmed at Hampton Court Palace, Barry was one of eight artists competing in the first episode. He described the day as fantastic, even if it was a bit long and hot. The excitement of painting in a new location was a thrill for him.
He didn’t make it to the semi-finals, but that didn’t dampen his spirits. Barry said it was more about the experience than winning. Meeting other artists and sharing the day with them was a highlight.
He’s been into art since he was a kid, and landscapes are his favorite. Barry loves capturing the beauty of nature, especially places like the Stour Valley. It’s clear that art is his passion, and this experience just added to his journey.
