A river scene in Norfolk and a fisherman's umbrella Very fine oil painting showing the artists confident handling of the medium. Notice the clever use of paint to highlight the fisherman's umbrella making it the focal point of the painting. The water moves in swirls and one could imagine being on the river bank on a balmy afternoon. The yellow irises provide a foil to the blues and the greens A view in Norfolk produce as part of an exhibition held at the 21st Century Gallery

| About the artist
Born: 1955
Miles Christopher Fairhurst studied art with his father the artist and art dealer Joe Fairhurst and privately in Aix in France but is mainly self-taught. He has held numerous one man shows in the last 10 years and a strong following has grown for his work. His work sells regularly through the major London sale rooms, and he is internationally collected and exhibited far from his Suffolk home.
Influenced by East Anglia and East Anglian artists, light and mood predominate in his impressionist approach to the big skies and the scenes beneath. He has also painted abstracts.
