The tall Cotswold stone houses of the outskirts of Bath seen on the ridge over the railway line A view of Bath painted plein air by Noel Brannan. The picture is expressionist in style with a hint of repressed fauvism. This repression is not seen in his later works. His early paintings this being circa 1946) display a great depth of knowledge and exuberance that have not been confined by the discipline of an artistic education. It was a number of years before he went to Lincoln art school as a mature student. Painted in Bath when he was working for the Admiralty.
