This original watercolour “ Haslemere Town” captures a bright view of this beautiful Surrey place, with its distinctive historic buildings, flower-filled green and Union Jack rising above the town. I was drawn to the combination of strong summer light, traditional architecture and the everyday life of the street beyond.
The painting is worked in transparent watercolour with finer drawn details, keeping the freshness and immediacy of the original view while allowing the character of the buildings and small details to emerge gradually.
A contemporary British townscape and an original painting of a recognisable Surrey place, particularly suitable for anyone with a connection to Haslemere or an affection for traditional English towns.
the painting measures 30 x 30 cm and is offered unframed. The images of the framed setting are for reference only.
