Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1880s.
Shimmering between verdant banks, a pool of restful water reflects an array of leafy branches. Each captured with careful observation by an accomplished draughtsman.
To paint this well requires obsession, a true admiration for the British countryside in all its subtle splendour. And to do so in watercolour, such an unforgiving medium, is quite astonishing.
Palmer’s gentle naturalism tugs at the heartstrings, it’s a poignant reminder that the natural world prevails over any materialistic indulgence. Through his work, he invites us to slow down, open our eyes and ‘see’.
