About the Item

Young Boy Fishing in River with Cottage in a Wild Meadow in the English Countryside by British Artist, Les Parson Art measures 16 x 12 inches Frame measures 21 x 17 inches The painting depicts a serene countryside scene featuring a white cottage surrounded by lush greenery. The cottage has a thatched roof with two chimneys and is partially obscured by trees and bushes. In the foreground, there is a dirt path leading to a calm body of water. A child, dressed in dark clothing, stands at the edge of the water with their feet in the shallow part, facing away from the viewer. The sky is clear with hints of blue, and the overall atmosphere is peaceful and idyllic. The painting is framed with an ornate gold frame with detailed carvings. 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. British Landscape Artist Vintage Original Oil Paintings (b.1945)
