Ruralists


This painting is by Annie Ovenden and is entitled Storm Gathering Over St German's. Ms Ovenden and her husband were members of the Brotherhood of Ruralists, a distinctly English group of painters who depicted nature in a very special way - not naturalistic but with a very keen eye for the feel of a place. Although no longer in formal existence, the group still has a website here. There is also a good book about their work, which is listed on Amazon here.
