Luba Arnold Larnie is a contemporary landscape artist based in Gloucester.
She writes: 'I’ve always been fascinated by nature and the ever-changing shapes and colours formed by the combination of the land, sky and sea, particularly those produced from the morning and evening light.

Colour and texture are at the heart of my paintings.'
