James Parfitt
20th century British/English Impressionist of a greenhouse interior with plants

1994

About the Item

James Parfitt (British, b. mid-20th century) Greenhouse Interior, ca. 1994 Oil on canvas In this intimate and richly detailed scene, James Parfitt offers a quiet celebration of horticultural life. A humble greenhouse bursts with vitality—terracotta pots brimming with leafy plants and early blooms, each lovingly rendered with a naturalist’s eye and a painter’s sensitivity. The interior glows with the filtered light of a British garden, casting gentle shadows and illuminating the soft textures of soil, foliage, and glass. Painted around 1994, Greenhouse Interior captures a timeless, contemplative space—part studio, part sanctuary. Parfitt’s mastery lies in his ability to blend observation with atmosphere: the old garden tools resting against the glass, the carefully placed plant tags, and the overgrown view beyond the panes all speak to a life lived slowly and attentively. The painting is as much about presence as it is about place. In every pot and pane, one senses the rhythm of gardening and the care of cultivation—an act of quiet devotion rendered in oil. Parfitt’s work belongs to the great tradition of British observational realism, updated with a contemporary softness and love for the everyday.
