An unexpected splendid new ‘Sentinel’ which we have been asked to sell, signed and dated 2010 by John:

Discovered recently in John’s workshop in Devon is this quite rare painting, which we have mounted for safety.  I titled it ‘Façade’.  We are offering it at £220.

Adding to our Cottage Collection sale are these two pieces – much loved for many a long year!

Textile artist VERINA WARREN showed at Yew Tree Gallery from late 1970s through to the early ‘90s – including exhibitions curated by Gilly in the USA and Norway.  Her unique perspective on landscape was interpreted through hand and machine embroidery combined with painting.  Many of her subjects were based on the Derbyshire countryside where she lived with her husband Stewart who created intricate wood framing for Verina’s work.

and a textile work in a very different idiom!  This appliqué panel shows a caravan of donkeys ridden across the desert, with pyramids in the background.  It originates from the 1930s when there was huge interest in Egyptian culture following the excavation of Tutankhamun’s tomb in the mid-1920s.

We will keep adding to our NEW ARRIVALS as more work comes in ~ so do keep an eye open!
