Landscape, Buxton, U.K

£65.00

During Ascentiontide 2025 I visited Buxton, U.K. The place seemed to me to be infused with an idea of fresh spring water, under the hills and flowing all about even into a well in the town near the Buxton Crescent Hotel. The well, where people filled their containers with this pure water, is known as St. Ann’s. St. Ann was the mother of Our Lady and the grandmother of Jesus. An inscription at the well reads, ‘A well of living waters’. When I was home, I made a series of works based on photographs I had taken on my visit. Whilst making this series I was also thinking about a painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, The Gust of Wind 1872 - I have a postcard of it by my studio window after seeing it at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge in the spring time.
