Beautiful new painting.

 

Painted from the Tatton-Sykes Monument near Sledmere. It's 30x24'', oil on canvas.

 

Sir Tatton Sykes, 4th Baronet (1772–1863) was an English landowner and stock breeder, known as a patron of horse racing.

 

While in London Sykes walked from London to Epsom to see Eager's Derby win in 1791; and next year he rode down to see John Bull win. His name first appears in the Racing Calendar as an owner of racehorses in 1803, when his Telemachus ran at Middleham, Yorkshire. In 1805 he rode his own horse Hudibras at Malton, Yorkshire, in a sweepstakes, and won the race. In 1808 he matched his mare Theresa over a four-mile course at Doncaster for five hundred guineas, owners riding, and won. For twenty years after this he from time to time kept a few horses in training at Malton, mainly for the purpose of mounting them himself in races for gentlemen riders. His colours were orange and purple, and the last time he wore them on a winning horse of his own was in 1829, when on All Heart and No Peel he won the Welham Cup at Malton. Sykes was one of the largest breeders of blood-stock in the kingdom. For some of his stock he gave large prices; for Colsterdale he paid thirteen hundred guineas, and for Fandango at Doncaster in 1860 £3,000. His stud numbered two hundred horses and mares: he bred Grey Momus, The Lawyer, St. Giles, Gaspard, Elcho, Dalby, and Lecturer. His annual sales were well attended, and his stock fetched high prices.

I am a plein-air oil painter best known for my Yorkshire seascapes and beach scenes.  I believe that working outside, directly in front of the subject, gives my work a life and vibrancy sadly lacking in much of studio work.My paintings can be seen in homes and galleries throughout the UK and the USA - and many other places too.  In 2013 I won the Oldie, £5000, British Art Award.

 

As well as being a painter I am also a professor of mathematics, specialising in relativity and cosmology. My professorship is from the University of Linkoping in Sweden where I worked for several years.  I also do some teaching at York University.  My research work deals mostly with black holes, gravitational radiation and cosmology.  I am the author of quite a well-known book called General Relativity - A Geometric Approach, published by Cambridge University Press.

About the Artist - Professor Malcolm Ludvigsen

 

I am a plein-air oil painter best known for my Yorkshire seascapes and beach scenes.  I believe that working outside, directly in front of the subject, gives my work a life and vibrancy sadly lacking in much of studio work.  My paintings can be seen in homes and galleries throughout the UK and the USA - and many other places too.  In 2013 I won the Oldie, £5000, British Art Award.

 

As well as being a painter I am also a professor of mathematics, specialising in relativity and cosmology. About 10 years ago I took a sabbatical and started painting for fun. I think the thing that first attracted me was John Ruskin's exhortation that all men, as part of their morning salutations, should go out and paint a picture of the sky.  This sounded like a very nice thing to do, so I decided to give it a go, and I've not really stopped painting since. 

 

 

My professorship is from the University of Linkoping in Sweden where I worked for several years.  I also do some teaching at York University.  My research work deals mostly with black holes, gravitational radiation and cosmology.  I am the author of quite a well-known book called General Relativity - A Geometric Approach, published by Cambridge University Press (also available in a French translation with a preface by Sir Roger Penrose).  I find little incompatibility between  my mathematical work and my painting: both are based on geometrical intuition, one internal the other external.

I live and work in York.
