The
Gardens of STOWE
At present
STOWE in Buckinghamshire is occupying my attention. The National Trust
Gardens contain an enormous number of follies and grottoes which the Trust
is now restoring. For several years I have thought that paintings of them
with modern figures in the foreground would form an interesting series.
In my new book of linocuts which I propose printing in the Summer of 2006
there will be views of these temples combined with well known paintings
by Matisse, Monet and Renoir. The text will be an 18th Century poem by
Gilbert West where he muses on the literary and historical connections
to each vista.
- already over 1 year in the making!
- printed - now being bound.
