Nicely portrayed Stephen, Rowland Hilder painted this scene many times, worth a look.

Many thanks Alan, Rowland Hilder was a great draughtsman wasn't he.

A good painting Stephen, I was lucky enough to see Ed demonstrate a few times (giving my age away now) and he was certainly an inspiration that has kept me painting watercolours.

Many thanks, Dennis and Steve. I think he was one of the first artists to offer tuition to amateur painters.

Copied this from one of Wesson's classic paintings. Must have been a very complex scene, clever how he has simplified and interpreted it.

About the Artist

Stephen Slater

I am a self taught amateur painter, I mostly paint landscapes in watercolour but I 'dabble' in other mediums from time to time. I really enjoy my art, especially painting outdoors when the weather allows.
