Oil on Board, 7.5 x 10 inches
The house on the hill provided a nice little foil and alternative focal point to the lazy grazers here in Devon above the River Axe again. I haven't got the time to give you all an entertaining commentary I'm afraid, so you'll just have to read the paper or watch Jeremy Kyle with your cup of coffee, whilst I get on with the next one.......
Dear Mr. Barker:
ReplyDeleteI love your work! I am an American who has
inherited an oil painting from a painter
who signed his work W.E.E.H. 1883. The other
words on the painting say "River Exe Devonshire",
shown painted on a post. Do you perhaps know
this painter? Any assistance you might conjure
would be so appreciated. Thank you and have a
wonderful summer!

Thanks for your very kind comments on my work Victoria! Unfortunately, I can't help you with your painting I'm afraid. If you have any more information as to where you got it from, or any Gallery where it was exhibited, anything like that on the back, that might help. Or, possibly, if you took the back of the painting apart, it might have some other clues beneath. The River Exe is indeed in Devon (it's no longer called Devonshire), not far from where I painted the River Axe. By all means send me a photo of the paintin by email, to peter@peterbarkerpaintings.co.uk
