Mervyn Goode (b.1948) ‘May Blossom, Dartmoor’

One of the country’s leading traditional landscape painters in oil, Mervyn was born in 1948 and studied landscape architecture at The Gloucestershire College of Art before embarking on a career as a professional painter in 1970. That year he held his first solo exhibition, a sell-out, at the Highton Gallery in London and never looked back. In reviewing the exhibition, the Sunday Telegraph Art Critic described him as a painter “who is in love with trees, nature, reality, creation and peace itself.”

Since then Goode has held numerous one-man exhibitions in London,  and America. A keen naturalist, and ardent conservationist he paints the Hampshire countryside around his home studio. His work has been widely reproduced in print both through limited editions and greetings cards, featured in several television documentaries and numerous fine art books and periodicals.
