Across The Pond Mugs

My version, of "The Wash ', a marshy area famous in England. According to Legend, crown jewels, gold and money, belonging to King John were lost. Somewhere near here in 1216, (the signing of the Magna Carta), including the entire royal cart went missing, when his army, capsized the van in the rising waters, trying to cross the muddy tidal estuary, locally, called “The Wash”.

It was late summer and I had spent the day on the Hampshire coast, returning by bicycle with just an hour of daylight to get home. I had just passed Beaulieu village and glanced back across the ponds to see this panorama lit by the low light just before dusk. The photo looked good, but its only when I painted this view that I got the real feel of the moment. Painted in oil on a 20x8 inch board.

Carnival fun is waiting across the pond-GO!

Merry Christmas from the red rose county. Good ole Lancashire.

The Philadelphia Eagles are heading to London and your wardrobe needs to get ready for the trip across the pond!
