註釋We can ask little more of an landscape painter than to provide in paint not only what wehave seen with our own eyes, but to capture the very essence of a scene ¿ to feel when wegaze upon a painting the warming sun on our face and to hear the sigh of the wind distantin the trees.In Down an English Lane, Richard Thorn has chosen that most iconic feature of our rurallandscape to remind us how delightful and inspiring even the most familiar scenery can be.Whilst the majority of paintings included here represent settings from his native Westcountry,the imagery will be familiar to all of us who share the artist¿s enjoyment ofwandering down our country lanes. Here history and nature are entwined among therambling hedgerows and winding roads that stamp upon the landscape an unruly maze ofbyways, marking it as unmistakably English.Through each season the artist charts the annual changes that transform autumnal rustto winter¿s steel, then change again to the first fresh greenery of spring and on to goldensummer days.For all those who love the countryside, for those who appreciate the artist¿s skill incapturing in paint the quintessence of a scene, this book will prove a lasting treasure.
