A purple rhododendron flower among a mass of green foliage An extremely clever and appealing watercolour that puts me in mind of Stanley Spencer's flower paintings executed at Cookham. Leslie Gilbert, a master of the medium, has taken the single flower and set it off against a backdrop of foliage. This has resulted in a powerful painting that is packed with detail
