Felicity Evans follows the Pembrokeshire footsteps of abstract artist Graham Sutherland.

Felicity Evans follows the Pembrokeshire footsteps of abstract artist Graham Sutherland, discovering the landscapes, people and harsh geology that inspired his work.

Graham Sutherland talked of Pembrokeshire as the place where 'I began to learn painting'. In this week's Open Country, Felicity Evans follows in his footsteps, discovering the landscapes that inspired his work. The abstract shapes and colours of his art are revealed through conversations with a self confessed 'Sutherland Groupie' also known as art historian Sally Moss and geologist and writer Dr Brian John. Felicity also meets with Susie and Nicky Philipps of Picton Castle who recall Sutherland's visits to their ancestral home and local artist Sarah Jane Brown who shares her own artistic view of 'Sutherland's' land. 

Presented by Felicity Evans
Produced by Nicola Humphries.
