Carreg Cennan, Wales,
from the south-east Artist's Catalogue No: 1030 Watercolour & gouache Image size 52.0 x 71.0 cms Sold |
Note from the Artist: The ruins of Carreg Cennan Castle stand three miles south-east of Llandeilo, perched at the top of an inland cliff at the west end of the Black Mountain. It is one of my favourite castles, largely because of its spectacular situation, which is evident from this vantage point. As it stands today the castle is the result of rebuilding, probably in the 1280s and the following decades, by the invading English following the wars conducted against the Welsh by King Edward I. There had, however, been a Welsh Castle here before which the English occupied and repaired before beginning their new work. After the early fourteenth century no major alterations were made, only repair works, so the castle is an unaltered survival from the period 1280-1330. It is now in the care of CADW. |

Devizes from Potterne
Field, Wiltshire Artist's Catalogue No: 1028 Watercolour & gouache Image size 41.2 x 52.0 cms Sold |
Note from the Artist: Devizes is a town that is located right in the middle of Wiltshire. It has a once-important castle, now almost entirely obscured by the 19th century "castle" built on top, and not accessible to the public. The outer part of the extensive castle enclosure eventually became the town centre, with the street pattern still clearly determined by the medieval defences. St John's church (see Paintings for Sale, Gallery 3) was inside the inner bailey of the castle and may have originally been the castle chapel. Although the town has grown it is still possible to get out into open countryside nearby, such as the field which provided the viewpoint for this picture. |

Chemin de la Valmoura,
St Cezaire-sur-Siagne, France Artist's Catalogue No: 1023 Watercolour & gouache Image size 28.0 x 35.5 cms Sold |
Note from the Artist: A small unexceptional road on the edge of the village, painted mostly in situ on four successive August days between 11.00am and 1.00pm, while on holiday in the village of St Cezaire-sur-Siagne, which is in southern France, inland from Cannes. Mediterranean light is noticeably different from the light in the UK, and I wanted to paint it on the spot - this location offered a nice quiet place to do that. |

Elemental Landscape
Artist's Catalogue No: 1017 Watercolour & gouache Image size 49.5 x 72.5 cms Sold |
Note from the Artist: I painted this shortly before the practice of stubble burning ended, because I knew that the decision to ban burning had been taken. The painting is deliberately dramatic, almost apocalyptic, because it represents the impending end of a long-standing agricultural practice. The place depicted is near a road intersection in Wiltshire known as Five-Ways, on the road between Bradford-on-Avon and Corsham, and the burning was really taking place there. The title refers to earth, air, fire and water, all of which are present. |
