A scrap of newspaper

This masterful watercolour represents the work of Sir William Russell Flint at its most mature;
it is a superb example of the artist's lyrical unity of line, form, composition and colour.

The Provence region of Southern France has inspired many artists
with its exquisite light and superb buildings in a rich landscape setting.
Some of Russell Flint's finest paintings originated in the area, for he was utterly captivated by its rural charm,
but more especially by the peasant and gypsy folklore.

Sketchbook notes indicate that 'A Scrap of Newspaper' was inspired by an old barn some 3 miles west of Apt.
This particular painting was published as a decorative calendar print, purely for the enjoyment of the work.
