A new work to share with you: the Entrance to Cirencester Park, Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Mixed media, on 300gsm watercolour paper. The arch connects the house to the town; the great mass of greenery is the mightily impressive yew hedge, at some 40ft high and the tallest in the world. The arch may be the design of the 1st Earl Bathurst, who designed the house itself in a stripped down Baroque style. The arch is rather French in feel with those chainages, and none the worse for that. I think on the whole I prefer French classicism to the Italian variety.
