Jack Grunwell
Historic Miniature Watercolor of Theatre Royal in Bristol

About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Theatre Royal in Bristol by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 3.75 inches (height) x 5 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This beautifully detailed watercolor by Jack Grunwell captures the Theatre Royal in Bristol, home to the Bristol Old Vic, one of the oldest continuously operating theatres in the English-speaking world. Opened in 1766, the Grade I listed building remains a cherished cultural landmark, renowned for its elegant Georgian façade and rich theatrical history. Grunwell’s composition highlights the grandeur of the Theatre Royal’s classical architecture, with its grand columns, arched windows, and ornate detailing, while the bustling street scene filled with horse-drawn carriages and finely dressed figures evokes the energy of a 19th-century theatre evening. To the left, the presence of a half-timbered Tudor-style pub adds historical contrast, reinforcing the charm and character of Bristol’s historic centre. With soft muted tones and precise brushwork, this artwork beautifully conveys the timeless appeal of one of Britain’s most celebrated theatres. A wonderful addition for collectors of architectural watercolors, theatre history, and British heritage, this piece captures the enduring spirit of Bristol’s cultural legacy.

Canyon Country
By Lu Haskew
Located in Loveland, CO
Canyon Country by Lu Haskew Pastel 16x20" image size Landscape view of the Grand Canyon ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009 "Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career. Since 1992, she has studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike, and others at the Scottsdale Art...
