Andrew Horrod – Fine Artist

Welcome to my website

I am a professional painter who uses oil, watercolour and chalk pastel.  Examples of my work are shown on my themed pages.  Click on each image – it will appear larger within a light box.  Close the box to return to the rows of images.

Dimensions shown do not include mount or frame unless otherwise stated.  Pictures of London are included on both my Landscape and Urban Scenes pages.

Prices for original paintings range from about £250 unframed to £2,000 framed, depending on what is involved.  I am happy to consider landscape commissions.  If you are interested in buying a painting you see on the site, or having a commission piece of a particular location, please get in touch via the link on my contact page.  I will guide you through the process, answering any questions.  Work is handed over/despatched once payment (by bank transfer) is received.

I update my website regularly, summarising current painting activity under ‘Latest News’.  Photographs of recent work are often posted to my Instagram account:

Latest News – 13 March 2025

Sky Arts has been televising the latest Sky Landscape Artist of the Year competition.  This involves selected artists tackling outdoor scenes around the UK in a series of heats, with winners progressing to a semi-final and then final (which has just been shown). Each heat includes participation by the ‘wildcard artists’, an enjoyable sideline to the main competition.  I was lucky to be selected as one of the wildcards for the heat at Hampton Court Palace.  Heat was an appropriate word for the day at the Palace last June – the temperature rose to about 85 degrees F, with the wildcards not having any shade at all!  I was not the winning wildcard artist on the day, nevertheless it was good fun and I have put a photo of my painting in situ on my Landscape page.  I will add a photo of the finished painting to my website in due course, along with images of other recent work.

I maintain an email contact list so please let me know if you would like to be added.  Typically subscribers receive half a dozen emails per year, which are sent ‘blind copy’, and sometimes include an image or invitation.  You can of course unsubscribe at any time.

Since 2012 I have had more time to produce work, which people often and kindly describe as beautiful.  It is always based on direct observation and learnt drawing skills.  There is a bit more about me, my work and prizes I have won on my About page.
