Established in 1994, Skylark Studio is the gallery and workplace of artist Rolf Parker, who specialises in high quality representational paintings, etchings and linocuts of Western Lake District landscapes and street scenes.
Situated in the attractive town of Cockermouth, which is a good base for exploring the quieter northern and western areas of Cumbria, the artist-run gallery also stocks a great selection of reasonably priced all British - made crafts/gifts, fashion jewellery made on the premises and greetings cards. Everything is as reasonably priced as possible and usually will typically undercut the pricing of similar items elsewhere including online.
The calendars, greetings card packs, etchings and linocuts can also be bought from this site online. If you have visited the gallery in the past and would like to mail order other items you have seen, including original pastels illustrated on the 'currently available paintings' page please contact me, also If you would like to discuss commissioning a painting of your choice of view.
'Six packs' of Cockermouth greetings cards from the pastel paintings by Rolf Parker. A pack contains six different views which can be seen on the 'Greetings Cards' page of this site and purchased on the 'Online Shop' page. Currently seven different six packs are available ; Cockermouth 1, 2, and 3, Lakes 1, 2 and 3, and Cockermouth Christmas.
