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. I was intrigued and so far I've given 18 months to the project. 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’, the title of the work I hope to have ready in the spring of 2021.
