About Tony Lees

In later years, the contrasting countryside of the Lake District and other rural areas provided further inspiration. Fell walking became a major influence, and during long walks such as the Pennine Way, Coast to Coast, and the West Highland Way, Tony observed the changing effects of sunlight, shadows, and weather on the landscape. These experiences contributed to his highly popular personal interpretations shown in his work.

Tony occasionally introduced elements of abstraction into his paintings, combined with varied colouring and application techniques. This resulted in a highly individual style that continues to be appreciated by those who enjoy paintings “with a feel.”

Tony’s paintings are now in homes across the world, including France, the U.S.A., Switzerland, Canada, Germany, Spain, South Africa, and Japan, as well as throughout the U.K. A varied selection of prints from carefully chosen locations is available, showing his techniques at their best.

Tony sadly passed away in 2016. His family continue to supply prints through various Lakeland galleries.

Prior to his passing, Tony had spoken about turning some of his personal favourite works into jigsaw puzzles. His family have since made this a reality, and these are now available alongside his prints.
