"I was nine years old during the Battle of Britain, living in North London. Collecting bits of shrapnel and pieces of crashed German aircraft was all the greatest excitement for us small boys.
Even having a load of incendiary bombs dropped in the field next door and rushing out before the police got there to collect the tails was fun!
I don't think we realised that people were killing each other as we heard the rattle of machine guns and watched the twisting vapour trails in the blue sky above as we went to school.

As my record of the Battle of Britain I have resisted the temptation to paint more obvious battle scenes in the air.
I well remember such a picture as I have painted.
I have tried to record the 'feel' of those momentous days as, in the true British spirit, life had to go on.
In spite of the fighting overhead and aircraft crashing all around in the fields of Kent, Surrey and Sussex, the harvest had to be gathered in and nothing was going to interupt it!"

We specialize in signed prints and original paintings and drawings by the world acclaimed artist L.S.Lowry.
The demand for his work has now reached record highs, and due to the relatively few signed limited edition prints available, they are proving to be an excellent investment, much greater than any current banking investments.
A watercolourist, whose work needs little introduction in the world of art is Sir William Russell Flint.
We stock hundreds of this artist's signed limited edition prints and always a fine selection of his original watercolour paintings.
Throughout his life Sir William Russell Flint has spent many years painting beautiful watercolour images of scenes in France,
in particular Dordogne and the Perigord, where this beautiful holiday house is to let click here
and offers complete tranquility and relaxation.
There are also a number of signed limited edition prints of paintings from Britanny, The Loire, Ardeche, Provence.
We have for sale several original paintings from the south west France, near to the beautiful towns of Brantome and Perigueux and also Languedoc
His work has now become regarded as some of the finest watercolour paintings in the world.
