❄️ So far, it has been a very cold start to 2026….
Whilst living in Norwich during the 1890s, Munnings worked for lithograph printers Page Brothers, whom of which Caley’s Crackers were a large client.

Munnings was a master at watercolours as this painting shows. It depicts what might be the River Wensum, near Drayton, Norfolk, on a summer’s day.

For Dr Bill Teatheredge, this work was painted in what he would describe as Munnings’ best period, around 1900-1915. At this point he was finding his way as an artist in his own right and painting subjects which he enjoyed doing, unlike the later dreaded commissions.

Welcome back! This morning’s Throwback Thursday photo was East Street in Colchester, looking west towards East Bridge.
The scene has changed in some ways (no more tramlines or telegraph wires overhead) but many of the buildings remain. Just look at that shop on the right, still standing!

This rarely seen study by Munnings is an oil on panel. At only 17 by 24 cms, it is a diminutive work and yet Munnings has captured an expansive scene of moorland and background hills within his composition .
He is likely to have sat at the scene painting ‘plein air’.
