The Obby Oss festival is a folk custom that takes place each 1st of May in Padstow, North Cornwall. It involves two separate processions making their way around the town, each containing an eponymous hobby horse known as the Obby Oss. These Osses are of circular construction with a black skirt and pointed inner hat (seen here in the corners and leading the band in the street).
Ron Wood was born in London. From 1936 to 1941 he was an apprentice engineer, and the subsequent five years were spent in the Royal Navy. From 1946 till 1966 he lived in Kent, following a career in marine and nuclear engineering. During the 1950s he was a student at London's St Martins School of Art.
Wood moved to Cornwall in 1966 to follow a career in painting and sculpture. Settling near Truro, he worked with glass fibre and polyester resin. His work was shown in group and many solo exhibitions in Cornwall and throughout the UK. It is also held in private collections in Britain, Europe, the USA and South Africa. During the 1970s and 1980s he was awarded several commissions for sculpted works.
The Old Mine , an oil painting on canvas, is part of the collection at the St Agnes Museum. It was acquired by them in 2006.
