A beautiful painting by a superb artist who does not get the attention he deserves.
This is another illustration, like the Ravilious and the George, from David Dimbleby's ' A Picture of Britain'.
I have a clear memory of his paintings at an exhibition in London in the late 1980s. This included some of his distinctive paintings of balloons floating above a desert landscape, with their ghostly shadows cast onto the sand below.
Clean, crisp, paintings, with a still, other-world power to fascinate.
He typically spray-painted acrylic, and worked with photographs, but the results far surpass photography.
Sadly, he died in 1995.
