Painting Description
Ted Dyer captures the gentle rhythms of rural life in this evocative oil painting, set in the golden heart of the Somerset countryside. ‘Harvest Time, Somerset’ is a tender portrayal of haymaking on a sunlit day, framed by meadows teeming with wildflowers under a sky brushed with soft cumulus clouds.
Rendered with Ted’s signature sensitivity to light and atmosphere, the work offers a nostalgic glimpse into a personal chapter of the artist’s life. The house depicted just to the right of the church tower is the former vicarage in Creech St Michael near Taunton, where Ted lived with his young family. The neighbouring farm, visible in the distance, was a constant source of inspiration, and here we see the haymakers at work — their presence bringing movement and life to the stillness of the landscape.
Dyer’s brushwork dances across the canvas with warm ochres, russets, and delicate pastel tones, capturing both the richness of the field in bloom and the serenity of rural tradition. The composition leads the eye through the floral foreground, across the field to the quiet village beyond, crowned by the tower of the local church — a timeless focal point.
This is a beautifully balanced composition imbued with warmth, memory, and a sense of place. A rare opportunity to acquire an original oil painting from a much-loved period in Ted Dyer’s artistic journey, this work is perfect for collectors seeking a lyrical and personal depiction of the English landscape.

Another wonderful painting
"Another wonderful painting from Ted Dyer to add to my small collection of his paintings with one or two even featuring John, the gallery owner, as a child! Never a disappointment, always a delight to receive a new picture and one of the others will have to move over so this one can take pride of place. Excellent job by the gallery in the packing and delivery. An altogether good experience in these trying times."

Superb original painting: Beautiful colours and brilliant brushwork
"I love the sense of movement in this painting - I can almost hear the breeze flowing through the leaves of the tall trees which envelop the old French farmhouse, whilst the bold lavender and colourful grasses dance and wave in the foreground. Later, my eye is drawn to the figures beneath the trees in the distance, perhaps working at a leisurely pace in the heat of the day - a calming and peaceful scene. My family and I are absolutely delighted with this exquisite painting."

"I have never been to England, but feel as though I have visited Cornwall often through the books I have read. I feel so grateful to have discovered Ted Dyer’s artwork and to now have beautiful imagery to go along with the mental images I have accumulated over the years. If I ever make it to England, I will definitely visit Cornwall and the John Dyer Gallery. Not only is the Dyer family artwork wonderful, but the customer service is outstanding, too! England has many treasures and the gallery is definitely one of them!"
