On a cold damp Sunday afternoon ‘Red Sails in the Sunset’ on Scammonden Dam near Huddersfield is a welcome reminder of warmer brighter weather to come. Typical of Peter Brook’s sense of humour, he is just visible with Shep on board Yacht PB 1999. (Sold Wilson55 Auctioneers & Valuers in 2023)

Some of Peter Brook’s later work was not meant to be taken too seriously, like ‘Counting Sheep’, an obvious reference to the traditional cure for insomnia with its line of ewes trooping obligingly in single file past the on-looking Peter and Shep. (Sold Wilson55 Auctioneers & Valuers in 2023)
Peter Brook often used the man and dog motif to suggest movement in his paintings, but in ‘Waiting for a Break’ he stands sheltering with Shep in the lee of the farmhouse, while the scene is animated by the snow flurries being blown across the sky. (Sold Wilson55 Auctioneers & Valuers in 2020)
One in honour of Stephen Sparrow, who over the years has graciously allowed me to plunder and share works from his regular, stellar #NorthernArt Sales Wilson55 Auctioneers & Valuers Sincere thanks, Stephen 🫡🙏🏻 Back Street Garage, Manchester by Steven Scholes (b. 1952)
‘Hannah Hauxwell - A Quiet Moment before Setting Off for the Palace 1980’, to attend a royal garden party, is a much gentler portrayal of the life of the lone farmer from Baldersdale than in Peter Brook’s more usual paintings of her in wintertime. (Sold Wilson55 Auctioneers & Valuers in 2023)
‘Pennine Way - Evening Light’ is Peter Brook’s portrayal of the iconic long distance footpath established 60 years ago yesterday. Typically, he depicts one of the less spectacular stretches, relying on a trademark sky to bring the painting to life. (Sold Wilson55 Auctioneers & Valuers in 2020)
