About the Item
Children Fishing by a Riverside with Wild Flowers & Farmhouse in the English Countryside by British Artist, Les Parson
Art measures 20 x 16 inches
Frame measures 28 x 24 inches
This charming painting captures an idyllic riverside scene, framed beautifully in an ornate, antique-style gold frame that complements its nostalgic ambiance. The composition features a peaceful countryside cottage nestled among lush greenery, with delicate flowers blooming along the riverbank. The soft, misty background and tranquil water reflect the warmth and serenity of a sunny day, transporting the viewer to a quiet, dreamlike retreat.
The artist has meticulously painted the wildflowers and foliage, while the gentle, light-filled brushstrokes bring a hazy atmosphere to the entire scene. Two figures, likely a mother and child, are portrayed by the water's edge, adding a tender human touch that enhances the painting’s sentimental appeal. The scattering of white birds across the landscape introduces a sense of liveliness without disturbing the peaceful setting.
This artwork would be an elegant addition to any space, perfect for those who appreciate pastoral beauty and classic craftsmanship. Its balance of warmth, intricate detail, and romantic scenery offers a timeless quality that invites viewers to pause and enjoy a quiet moment in nature.
The painting is signed "Les Parson" in the lower right corner.
Les Parson has been a popular British Artist with a loyal following for nearly forty years. Despite having a personal interest in art, Parson never received any formal training. Born in Lancashire in 1945, he worked in London as a Computer Engineer until 1974. He then moved to Cornwall working as an installer of Radar, Sonar and Ship to Shore radio on small fishing boats.
In a chance meeting with local gallery owners in 1978, Parson was encouraged to expand his artistic skills and transform his hobby into a career. He therefore put aside his pencil sketching and watercolour paintings in lieu of the more permanent medium of oil on canvas and become a flourishing full-time artist.
As a professional, Les Parson has become renowned for his nostalgic paintings of rural landscapes featuring children at play. His work is internationally recognised and remain highly-sought after by both domestic and international collectors.
