'The Painted Seasons'. A Year in the Life of the British Countryside by
Dick Twinney
R.R.P £19.99!
An absolutely beautiful book! If you are into wild life, exquisite paintings, love of the countryside, this 144 page book if for you!
The fauna and flora of the British Isles is vividly brought to life in the original piantings of wildlife artist illustrator, Dick Twinney.
The book reflects the changing seasons week by week throughout the countryside during the year, through his paintings and informative, somtimes anecdotal commentary.
This edition, published in 2005 is new from the press. The book had previously been out of print for ten years.
The art work, (which is extraordinary) has been digitally remastered and is better than the original edition.
There are over fifty colour plates on full pages taken from Dick Twinney's original paintings.
These detailed paintings are the creation of an artist whose whole life revolves around the natural world. His home is sanctuary to a menagerie of creatures, some of them maimed through injury.
Dick Twinney is a well known character and artist in his home in North Cornwall, where variety and beauty of the landscape and its wildlife, are this artist's inexhaustible supply of raw material.
His work has been exhibited widely both in the UK and abroad, particularly USA and been used for book illustrations and decorative pottery (Royal Doulton an example).
Multiple copies can be available upon request at discount. Please email me.
