About the Item

Title: Flatford Mill Painting Course Group of Artists by British Painter John Steane by John Steane (b.1931) Size: 14.75 inches (height) x 14.75 inches (width) watercolor painting on paper, unframed condition: Good, with minor edge wear Provenance: from a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England Description: In this lively and characterful watercolour, British artist John Steane (b.1931) captures a group of students attending a painting course at Flatford Mill in 2013. Positioned along a grassy bank, the figures are shown at easels, seated on folding stools, or simply observing the landscape ahead, with sketchpads, brushes, and sunhats dotting the scene. The energy and camaraderie of a shared creative pursuit are beautifully conveyed through Steane’s confident linework and vibrant washes. Flatford Mill, located in the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Suffolk, is famous for its connection to the artist John Constable, who painted many of his best-known works in the surrounding countryside. Today, the mill is home to a Field Studies Council centre and continues to inspire generations of artists through residential painting and nature courses. This piece celebrates both artistic community and the English landscape tradition. The dynamic sky and suggestion of distant trees and sailboats reinforce the location’s pastoral charm. Steane’s sensitivity to gesture and movement captures not only a place, but a moment—making it a rare documentation of a creative gathering in a historically significant site. Ideal for collectors interested in plein air painting, artistic process, or British art education, this watercolour brings warmth and story to any setting.

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...
