THE TREASURE OF BRITWELL SALOME - VESPERS
31.5” x 23.5” (80 x 60cm) / Oil on gessoed panel /£7500
This work is a companion piece to an earlier painting, The Treasure of Britwell Salome - Matins. The paintings are views of a disused granary building in South Oxfordshire. One side gets the morning sun hence ‘Matins’ - I could hear the nearby church bells as I worked on site - the other side gets the sunset, hence 'Vespers'. The building is hidden from the road, shielded by trees and hedgerows. I’d passed it many times and not noticed it. A friend called it to my attention, especially the ‘fancy corbelling’ of the brick work. I would like the paintings to be kept together and exhibited as a pair, perhaps within an organisation with a heritage, historic or educational interest in Oxfordshire agricultural architecture. (Advice and suggestions would be welcomed here.)

(Between you, me and the gate post. You may have noticed there’s a lot of duplication on this site. This is mainly concerned with acceptance of my work by the Royal Society of British Artists. I’m hugely grateful to the RBA, but why do I keep on about it? Answer, because repetition of the various keywords involved is, so I’m told, good for the algorithms and their chums to drive visits to my site. Yeah, well, maybe so. But I can feel, one day, I’ll pluck up the courage to wipe off all the duplication and the behind-the-scenes stuff, leaving only copy I’d say to you face-to-face, human to human, mask to mask. And to hell with the consequences.)
