We went this afternoon to Flatford Mill to see an exhibition of watercolour paintings by Charlotte Verity undertaken during a period of residency at Bridge Cottage which is where the work was shown. It is impossible not to see the countryside round about through the eyes of Constable as one comes down the hill out of East Bergholt and looks out across Dedham Vale to Dedham Church in the distance:-
Then, by the Mill itself, there are views of the lock and across the river of trees which are familiar:-
As we left for London, the sun was low and someone had lit a bonfire whose smoke was drifting across the Vale:-









More. please, about the Charlotte Verity exhibition.
Yes, I didn’t say much a) because I wasn’t able to take any photographs of her work (too much reflection from the non-reflective glass) and b) because the work is of considerable delicacy of observation. Very nice artist’s statement, which she can send you. Charles
