Oliver Heywood was a landscape painter, who lived in Gloucestershire. His work was intimately connected with The Cotswolds, but extended to Cornwall, Wales, Western Scotland, Spain, Greece, Kenya, Tanzania and Malawi. From his watercolours in the 1950s, and his large abstracts in the early 1960s, he developed a unique style, combining the representational with the abstract.
