Welcome to Sleeping Giant Artwork
I’m Phil Turner an independent Welsh watercolour artist with a wide range of canvas paintings & prints. I live and work near the village of Ystradgynlais on the edge of the Brecon Beacons in the beautiful upper Swansea Valley, South Wales.
I am Self-taught and having an interest in art from an early age, I spent much of my childhood and teenage years drawing and painting.
My interest in art dwindled towards the end of secondary school when my path took the course of football and girls.
My watercolours paintings are inspired by the landscapes and nature of the mountains, rivers & valley’s. There is barely a day that goes by where I fail to be impressed by the beauty of the Welsh landscape around me.
I produce watercolour artwork using the brand name – ‘The Sleeping Giant’ and we are the perfect place for your next artwork Purchase!
My artwork cuts across a range of scenes from across the beauty of the Welsh landscape, to more subtle scenes of mountains, woodlands, rivers, birds, animals and waterfalls.
After retiring from playing football & working, I felt the need to start painting again. After sporadic creative bursts of working on my art over the subsequent years, I finally got my own space in late 2014 and began painting watercolour art regularly.
I would like viewers to experience my work with the sense of peace and tranquillity, which I feel when painting my projects. I hope my paintings convey the same magic of Wales and inspire others to take time out and explore for themselves.
