I've always admired the work of Rowland Hilder and love his depiction of the English landscape I believe he based a lot of of his work on the beautiful landscapes of Kent , I would dearly like to paint there some day ... in the meantime would any of my artist friends across the water have any decent photographic images depicting a typical Hilder subject as in big trees country lanes and those great big farmhouses , would love to have a bash at one of this type of landscape so typical of Kent ...

Much of what Rowland Hilder painted is gone- those old barns finally fell down. And the oast houses have all been converted into dwellings. (Oast house: a huge drying kiln for drying hops, used in brewing beer. They have a weird conical windshield on top of the chimney. Hops are mostly imported now, whereas it used to be a major crop.) However- his books are still available eg Amazon UK still has "Rowland Hilder's England" second hand for one penny ( 100p = one pound.) And new for 93 pounds.
