Bernard Carter was a true naive painter of the 20th century. A traditional schoolteacher, he was enthusiastic about painting since the age of 4.
Carter spent WW2 in Egypt with the R.A.F: after the war he married and lived in South London with his wife and child.
His style is extremely delicate, using fresh light colours. He was especially fond of painting stretches of water such as pools and rivers, and he was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of such districts.
Everything he painted was clearly and accurately presented - it's very naturalness gives his painting a supernatural air.

- Hotel d'Aligre, Rouen - Architectural France Normandy Impressionist Oil PaintingBy Lord Paul Ayshford MethuenLocated in Sevenoaks, GBThis charming oil on board by Lord Paul Ayshford Methuen RA depicts the Hotel d'Aligre at 30 Rue Damiette, Rouen in Normandy, France. The building, which is a 16th century mansion in the centre of the city, still exists today. The painting shows the back wing of the building with the access porch to the main courtyard. Please see final image for a present day view with the addition of windows in the roof. The work was most likely painted during or just after WW2, when Methuen was serving as a captain in the British Army. He wrote a book ''Normandy Diary'' recounting his experiences with the Procurement and Fine Art branch, which was set up to protect works of art during the invasion of the continent. A finely painted and atmospheric work which clearly shows the influence of Methuen's one time teacher Walter Sickert. Signed on the reverse and presented in a beautiful gilt frame.
