CROSTON TOWN ROAD NO1 OIL ORIGINAL BY ZAK LAST

Original Oil Painting by Zak Last

This original oil painting captures the view along Town Road in Croston, looking towards Thyme on the Yarrow. Painted en plein air during the early part of 2026, the artwork reflects the atmosphere, light, and character of this much-loved Lancashire scene, observed directly from life.

Measuring 51cm x 79cm, this one-of-a-kind piece showcases Zak's distinctive approach to landscape painting, combining skilled observation with expressive brushwork and rich oil colour.

About the Artist

Zak (b. 1972, Leeds) is a contemporary artist based in Lancashire, England, working predominantly in oil on canvas and canvas paper. Every original painting is created from direct observation, with drawing forming the foundation of his artistic practice.

Often painting outdoors, Zak immerses himself in the landscape, allowing the changing light, colour, and atmosphere of a place to shape each work. His paintings seek to capture not only what is seen, but also the feeling and experience of being present in a particular moment.

Each oil on canvas painting is carefully crafted using traditional methods, featuring a bespoke handmade pine frame, stretched cotton canvas, and traditional sizing techniques that honour the heritage of oil painting.

Working across canvas, canvas paper, and hardboard, Zak adapts his approach to suit each subject. This versatility allows him to create works ranging from richly textured surfaces with remarkable depth to more spontaneous, expressive studies painted directly in the landscape.
