Dagorlad - Steven Norton
Steven Norton is a contemporary landscape painter who lives and works in the West Midlands. His impressionist oil paintings focus on the ever changing light, texture and movement of the environment around us. Steven likes to work from memory, this gives him the freedom and ability to work using bold open brush strokes alongside palette knife mark making to achieve rich textured paintings, creating more energy and emotion.
Dagorlad
This scene is a perfect example of Steve's mastery over his brush and palette. Whilst the sky is soft, full of impenetrable grey cloud, the bleak, craggy coast is made of frantic light brushwork – a process of adding and scraping away to create the impression of such an inhospitable place much like its namesake.
Dagorlad is a place from J. R. R. Tolkien’s World of Middle-earth, and was a vast plain in southwestern Rhovanion, near Mordor. It lay between the Emyn Muil and the Cirith Gorgor, and was largely a treeless wasteland, bereft of life and beauty. It was the location of the Battle of Dagorlad, fought there between Sauron's forces and the Last Alliance of Elves and Men at the end of the Second Age.
Steve is a fan of Tolkiens works and found it to be a perfect title for this moody, dark place.
