SOLD
Item number 681
Approaching the back of the Georgian Stables of Launde Abbey This is a splendid oil painting with short brush strokes giving a feeling of summer heat. Notice the clever use of shadows to accentuate the depth of the painting. The viewer is drawn into the scene, past the gate and into the stable house. Nowadays these Georgian Stables have been converted and refurbished to provide bedrooms and meeting rooms for the retreat centre of Launde Abbey in Leicestershire (more information at http://www.launde.org.uk/index.htm ).
