- Very large, original watercolour painting, depicting a canal in a countryside landscape. Exhibited at the 1972 'Royal Society of British Artists' exhibition at the prestigious Mall Galleries in London, this centrepiece painting is by renowned British artist Ashley Jackson (b.1940 ).Ashley Jackson was born in Penang, Malaysia, and moved to Yorkshire aged 9. He decided as a teenager that he wanted to be an artist, and after an initial spell as a signwriter, he progressed to becoming a professional artist, opening his first gallery in Dodworth in 1963. He initially used to paint en plein air, but today chooses to use sketchbooks outdoors and paint in his studio. He is one of the country’s best known and most successful watercolour artists, dubbed ‘the Yorkshire Artist’, his evocative paintings are gritty and atmospheric, often depicting gathering storm clouds, or layers of light after the heavens have opened. Today he has a gallery in the pretty Yorkshire town of Holmfirth, and not being a prolific painter, his work is cherished and much sought after when it does come to market, and features in fortunate collections across the globe.- Signed, and dated 1972, lower left- Artist's original label and exhibition invitation verso- Framed, glazed* and ready to hang in its original off-white moulded period frame*IMPORTANT: We will deliver this item personally within a 25 mile radius of Harrogate, outside of this area, due to its size, we will remove the glass to avoid any damage, and send it unglazed via a standard courier service, alternatively, you are very welcome to collect the item in person- Painting size 74.5cm x 54.5cm (approx. 29 1/4 inches x 21 1/2 inches)- Frame size 102.5cm x 82cm (40 1/4 inches x 32 1/4 inches)- The painting is in excellent condition- The frame has some very minor rubbing and dinks, commensurate with age, otherwise it is in excellent condition- Excellent investment- Superb centrepiece- All paintings are carefully packaged to prevent damage during shipping- Please contact us for European and Worldwide shipping prices- If you have any questions about this item, please contact us and we will respond within an hour
