Boats at the junction of the Little and Great Stour rivers in Kent

A pen and ink drawing by David Burley. He has a fine feel for pen work and this can be seen in the super quality hatching along the river bank. This also gives great depth to the picture as the river turns the corner away from the viewer.

Plucks Gutter is a small hamlet in Kent near the site of King Alfred's defeat of an invading Viking force. The hamlet gets it's name from a Dutch drainage engineer called Ploeg who is buried in the churchyard.

About the artist

Born: 1901

Died: 1990

Born in 1901, Burley studied at Goldsmiths School of Art and earned his living as a commercial artist. In the 1920's and 30's good commercial artists were in great demand and so he exhibited only occasionally until the 1950's. He was primarily a watercolourist and was employed to conduct painting holidays around Europe. He exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy, Royal Institute of British Artists and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour.
