About the Item
Watercolour on paper of a Cornish beach scene by Oliver Bedford. Signed bottom right. Titled and located on a trade label for The Rowley Gallery, Kensington, London. Presented in custom wood frame under glass.
A charming Cornish beach scene, people enjoying the low tide and the large expanse of exposed sand and rocks. In his characteristic free and simple style Bedford has created a wonderful feeling of place and atmosphere. We can imagine the holidaymakers enjoying the fresh sea air under a sunny sky.
Born in Boston Spa, Yorkshire, Bedford's early years were spent at school in Hanover and Rome. He studied at the Royal institute of Fine Arts in Rome (1919-23), where he was awarded the title of Professor of Architectural Design in 1924. After travelling in Italy and Egypt, he returned to England in 1925 and taught for a year at the Courtauld Institute. During the following six years he exhibited drawings and watercolours in London, became an elected member of the Society of Graphic Artists and the British Watercolour Society, studied Chinese calligraphy and Oriental art at the Courtauld Institute, and studied for his architectural degree with his godfather, Sir Herbert Baker ARA FRIBA.
In 1936 he travelled in China, the Gobi Desert, Mongolia, and left Shanghai in August 1937 at the start of the Sino/Japanese war.
Moving to Cornwall in 1948, Oliver taught (Truro School of Art), lectured and exhibited his work throughout Cornwall; he lived in Truro. Later he was made a life member of STISA. In 1956 he had a solo show at the Royal Institution of Cornwall, comprising 75 watercolours, 29 oils and 22 etchings. This was considered to be one of the few shows by a living artist ever held by that institution. Many of his works in a variety of mediums were inspired by his travels to China and Europe, as well as Cornwall, and sold at his own gallery and studio in the 1960s and 70s.
He exhibited extensively during his lifetime including the Fine Art Society Gallery, London.
Perranporth Beach is one of Cornwall’s best known and most popular beaches.

- Trees in a Landscape French Country LandscapeLocated in Cotignac, FRA French watercolour on paper landscape by Roger Decaux. The work is signed and dated (as yet undeciphered) bottom right. Presented in a wood frame with cut card mount. A fresh and charming view of trees in a landscape. Decaux has used simple, fluid but strong strokes for this composition. One can feel the influence of 'abstraction of form' that was a part of his later work. The eye is drawn from the trees to the surrounding fields, the touches of colour to the right and then to the silhouette of the hills beyond. The use of watercolour at its best. Roger DECAUX was born in 1919 in Dombasle sur Meurthe in the Lorraine. He studied art in Paris with Gino Severini and Jan Brusselmans...Category

- Sunday on the Wye, Traditional Statement Watercolour Painting, Extra Large ArtLocated in Deddington, GBSunday on the Wye [2021] SOLD UNFRAMED Please note that insitu images are purely an indication of how a piece may look The artist comments "I painted 'Sunday on the Wye' after a day on the river canoeing with the family. It was a wonderful day meandering down stream near Symonds Yat. We turned the bend to see other boats congregated on the pebbles for a Sunday picnic. We beached our boat to take in the surroundings. The day was a great experience with sparkling light on the water and the sounds of the water over rocks. A few quick sketches and many photographs allowed me to then work at a large scale in the studio. It was painted with large brushes with watercolour. The chosen colours are blue and green. The painterly brush marks hold an energy and excitement of the days paddling." This work is sold unframed Artwork by artist Leigh Glover...Category
