The Treasure of Britwell Salome - Matins
31.5” x 23.5” (80 x 60cm) / Oil on gessoed panel /£7500
The old granary at Britwell Salome is hidden from the road, shielded by trees and hedgerows. I’d passed it many times and not noticed it. A friend told me about it, mentioning the ‘fancy corbelling’ of the brick work. The building is so big I decided to paint a pair of pictures, one front, one back. One side gets the morning sun, hence ‘Matins’ - I could hear the nearby church bells - the far side takes the sunset - hence ‘Vespers’, which has its own page. Matins and Vespers were exhibited at the The Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) exhibitions at their Annual Shows, 2020 and 2021.The RBA is dedicated to promoting the highest standards of skill, concept and draughtsmanship in painting, sculpture, printmaking and drawing.
