Reflections from #ORFC. So great to see our members, friends and allies in person. Inspiring and as thoughtful as ever, we've taken away a huge amount once again.

Dog with Sausages, by Wilhelm Trübner.
1878.
People don't change, it's just that now we have cameras we get 9832948 photos of when we test/annoy our dogs, back then you had to go paint it, I hope the dog didn't have to sit too long ;)

An intrepid band of volunteers braved the rain today for Cornwall Butterfly Conservation's work party at Wheal Maid. We were removing encroaching Gorse, Sallow and Cotoneaster from a south-facing slope to restore the heathland for Grayling and Silver-studded Blues.

This close side view shows the tight fit for gunners who operated the dorsal gun turret of the Lockheed Hudson reconnaissance aircraft. Keith Henderson's preference in painting less well-represented subjects accounts for the arresting composition of this work from 1940.

'The Red Necklace.' (c1916) Ben Nicholson's paintings from this period are clearly affected by his father William Nicholson's work. In an interview he made sure people understood this: 'I owe a lot to my father, especially to his poetic idea and his still-life theme.'

By the 1930s, driven both by his experiences in WW1 and a sense of alienation from his artistic peers and critics, Christopher Nevinson sought out more conventionally picturesque subjects and London, especially the Thames, was a constant source of inspiration. This is from 1940.
