About the Item
Early Twentieth Century Townscape Landscape Watercolour of Naimur, Belgium. A well painted and detailed watercolour painting of the buildings in the background with boats on the waterway in the foreground. Excellent condition with colours really sharp - a very pleasing piece from this extraordinary eccentric lady artist.
Florence Weston
British 1889 – 1942
“Naimur, Belgium”
Watercolour, signed and framed.
Florence Weston arrived in Coventry as the wife of T.D. Weston, drawn here by work opportunities. She was a student at Coventry School of Art around 1907.
. Back in 1905 Florence Weston herself presented an oil painting she made of William Morris to the Clarion Fellowship, a socialist cycling group - so there is clearly more to learn about this remarkable woman.
From 1927 she was living at 38 Coniston Rd. She was a founder member of the Coventry & Warwickshire Society of Artists in 1912, exhibiting with them into the late 1930s. In the mid 1920s she was working with the CWSA Sketch Club and in 1931 was a founder member of the Coventry Sketch Club and well remembered for her constant attendance at their outdoor sketching headquarters at Leasow's Farm and Mount Nod Farm, inspiring everyone with her unbounded enthusiasm.
She published a book of line drawings of Coventry, and subsequently a series of ten postcard views of Coventry. She would take a fortnight's painting holiday abroad each year - around 1921 in Brittany, 1923 Italy and around 1926 and 1935 Tangiers and Morocco, but her best known paintings are of old Coventry.
Florence Weston's escapades were legendary. When she held an exhibition in London she strapped paintings to her front and back and drove down on her motorbike. She passed through a red traffic light, because she had never seen such a thing before. A policeman signalled her to stop but she thought he was waving at her. As happened in those days, she was hauled up directly before a magistrate, of whom she took little notice and continued drawing. The judge fined her £5 for contempt of court and took her to dinner.
Nine watercolours of old Coventry were bequeathed to this city by the artist on her death in 1942, and further watercolours have come to the city as bequests subsequently.
