John Richard Townsend (1930-2013) was a painter who was born in Nottingham. His father was Art Director at Thomas Forman & Sons printers. Townsend left school aged 14 and studied art at Nottingham School of Art. He was taught by the Nottinghamshire painter Arthur Spooner. During the 1950s and 1960s, Townsend was commissioned internationally for oil painting portraits of celebrities and members of the aristocracy.
In 1970 Townsend was commissioned by Nottingham businessman Lewis Henry Colton to paint a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The portrait was presented as a gift to the city by Lew Colton. It hangs in the dining room of Nottingham Council House.
Townsend exhibited through the Royal Academy in London. Princess Anne and the Duchess of Kent have both bought works by Townsend.

Traditional English Oil Painting Children at the Beach with Kite Signed & Framed
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Children Playing On The Beach
by Les Parsons (British b. 1945) * see below
signed
oil on canvas, framed in swept gilt frame.
framed: 27 x 23 inches
canvas: 20 x 16 inches
provenance: private collection, England
condition: This painting is in excellent condition, with vivid colors and sharp details that show no signs of fading. The canvas is pristine, free from any damage or restoration work. The ornate frame is also in very good condition, with only minor wear consistent with age, adding to its character and authenticity. This piece is ready to be displayed and enjoyed, offering a touch of nostalgia and natural beauty to any space.
Les Parson has been a popular British Artist with a loyal following for nearly forty years. Despite having a personal interest in art, Parson never received any formal training. Born in Lancashire in 1945, he worked in London as a Computer Engineer until 1974. He then moved to Cornwall working as an installer of Radar, Sonar and Ship to Shore radio on small fishing boats.
In a chance meeting with local gallery owners in 1978, Parson was encouraged to expand his artistic skills and transform his hobby into a career. He therefore put aside his pencil sketching and watercolour paintings in lieu of the more permanent medium of oil on canvas and become a flourishing full-time artist.
As a professional artist, Les Parson has become renowned for his nostalgic paintings of rural landscapes featuring children at play. His work is internationally recognised, with many of his paintings published as prints. The paintings of Les Parson remain highly-sought after by both domestic and international collectors.
