For Nash, the 1920’s was a period of country living, and he produced some of his lovelist watercolours in the woods and fields and on the coast of Kent and Sussex where he lived.

In this work you can feel how Nash’s imagination was touched by the sensual qualities of light and shade, & perhaps by the sound of the wind, as he translates the visual evidence into a more poignant design. This picture with its gentle and pastoral forms evokes the essence of rural life. 

Paul Nash (1889 - 1946) is regarded as one of the greatest British artists of the twentieth century. Although best known for his horrific paintings of World War I, he went on to produce striking landscapes, before returning to war painting in World War II.
