Title: Waterperry Gardens Oxfordshire Watercolour with Blue Thistles and Manor House
by John Steane (b.1931)
Size: 11.5 inches (height) x 9 inches (width)
watercolor painting on paper, unframed
condition: Good, some faint handling marks and light edge wear
Provenance: from a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England
Description:
This vibrant watercolour by John Steane captures a floral view at Waterperry Gardens, a celebrated botanical haven near Wheatley in Oxfordshire, England. In the foreground, a lively cluster of blue thistles—possibly eryngiums—bursts from the earth with spiky energy and deep, cool tones. Behind them, lush borders of red and yellow lead the eye to the honey-coloured Waterperry House, bathed in warm sunlight under a vivid summer sky.
Founded as a school for horticulture for women in the 1930s, Waterperry Gardens is now an award-winning visitor attraction known for its sweeping herbaceous borders, rose gardens, alpine beds, and historic walled garden. This painting celebrates not just the physical beauty of the place but also its legacy of care, cultivation, and seasonal abundance.
Executed in 2019, this work highlights Steane’s distinctive approach to line and colour: combining fluid washes with expressive ink-like detail. The contrasting blues and greens are punctuated by architectural warmth and organic movement—offering a moment of joy for garden lovers, florists, or collectors of British watercolour landscapes.
Ideal for anyone with a love of English gardens, botanical painting, or the romantic tradition of British plein air work. A unique floral scene rooted in a very specific and beloved place.
