Note from the Artist: This is, of course, a commissioned painting, and this is the third version of the subject. The first two,
which were the same size but were watercolours, went wrong, largely because of the difficulty of painting portraits in
watercolour at this scale. The whole project took a very long time, and the client displayed astonishing patience.
I began the sketches for the picture in 1980, but did not start the first watercolour until 1985. This final version,
in oils on panel, was not begun until 2005, and was finished in 2011. |

Note from the Artist: In the twenty years that I lived in Bradford-on-Avon I painted many pictures of the town. This one shows
the upstream side of the Town Bridge, from the north bank. The bridge is medieval in origin and still has two 13th century arches,
but was largely rebuilt and widened in the 17th century. The structure in the middle is a splendid survival of a medieval bridge
chapel, which was later converted to become the town lockup.

Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy
Artist's Catalogue No: 1056
Watercolour & gouache

Note from the Artist: Montalcino is a typical Tuscan hilltop town. It is situated 37 kilometres south of Siena
and is home to the famous Brunello wine. The medieval period was a turbulent time in this part of Italy,
so the town has a castle and an intact circuit of town walls. |
