Description
A delightfully pleasing large watercolour of a peaceful evening setting at Stover Lake, Teignbridge, Devon. The painting is beautifully executed and depicts the birds flying around an empty sky and sitting on the calm water of the lake, settling down ready for the night time. There is a wooded island to the centre of the painting and it is both signed and titled to the bottom right corner. It is framed, glazed and mounted with the frame measuring 58 x 48 cm (23″ x 19″) with the painting itself measuring 36 x 26 cm (14″ x 10″).
Mark Gibbons was born in Lyme Regis in 1949. He graduated from Hull University before setting off on some travels to experience and paint his way around the world. He settled in his beloved West Country a number of years ago and currently lives with his wife in North Cornwall. Mark is a full time artist and has exhibited over the years at The Royal Watercolour Society in London and has done a number of commissions for Devon County Council including one which was presented to President Mitterand of France on the anniversary of The D-Day landings. He is widely regarded as one of the West Country’s best watercolourists.
