Garside was renowned for his innovative use of mixed media, generally a combination of watercolor, gouache, oil paint and gum Arabic. He painted very widely in Britain, particularly in Lancashire and Cheshire, and also in Holland. His work is in several public collections. © Big Sky Fine Art This original watercolor shows a charming pastoral scene, in the Victorian English countryside. There is a figure, a farmer, wearing cream trousers, a blue jacket and a hat. He has a white beard. He is guiding two bullocks, or young male cows, who are pulling a basic wooden plough. One of the bullocks is black with a white face, the other is white with small black markings. Both have horns. The ground is rough and hard, with stones and one imagines that the going is tough and this man is but eking out a living.
