Inspired oil and watercolour paintings of the Wye Valley - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - lying between England and Wales. These web pages show some of Don Lavelle's paintings depicting the River Wye as it winds its way through the Lower Wye Valley. Don's paintings capture the beautiful views of areas around Chepstow, Tintern, Brockweir, St. Briavels, Llandogo, Bigsweir, Redbrook, Forest of Dean, Monmouth and Ross-on-Wye.

Don Lavelle lives in the Wye Valley and - like many English landscape artists before him - finds much beauty in the River Wye and the Valley. This area was responsible for the term "picturesque" and was also one of the first destinations of mass tourism.

All the watercolour and oil paintings shown were created and painted on the spot by Don Lavelle in the Wye Valley and are artistic renditions of this outstanding part of the United Kingdom

Owning an original painting gives lasting pleasure and is a feature in your home that you and your family will treasure for generations. Purchasing a Don Lavelle painting for your home or as a special gift is easy - or ask about commissioning a memorable view.
