The essentially decorative quality of Frampton's work, which characterised his most important figurative subjects, now became evident in his lyrical and delicate treatment of landscape. 'Hills of the Land and Sky: Cumberland', illustrates perfectly his innate feeling for form and line, used to convey the monumental grandeur of the undulating and mountainous vista. 'Mr. Frampton's pictorial statement only deals with essentials, but it gives you everything ... there is the decorative realisation of nature ... we see the curling sweep, or the mottled pattern, of cloud inthe spacious reaches of the sky, which are both true to imagination and fact. These pictures show the artist's feeling for earth and sky, for their colour, blues and greens and yellows with very often in the foreground, a favourite introduction by the artist, a patch of wild flowers' (R. Dircks, The Studio,1923, p. 9) .

In Frampton's late landscapes, reality and ideality, detail and simplicity are inextricably

mingled, evoking a mysterious and dreamlike atmosphere of sublime serenity. Such landscapes express above all, the power of his poetic imagination and the ethereality that imbued his subjective interpretation of nature; 'there is much of Reginald Frampton's work, both in figure subjects and landscape, that possess a rare and peculiar beauty of its own.

Undoubtedly talented in the technical side of his profession, he also possessed the rarer faculty of imagination' (Connoisseur, 1924, p.242)
