THE PROMENADE<br />
OIL ON LINEN<br />
Eleanor W<strong>at</strong>son<br />
In this large contemporary painting by artist Eleanor<br />
W<strong>at</strong>son, winner of the prestigious Jon<strong>at</strong>han Vickers<br />
Fine <strong>Art</strong> Award, we are situ<strong>at</strong>ed in the middle of the<br />
landscape, partaking in the scene r<strong>at</strong>her than viewing<br />
it from afar. <strong>The</strong> view into the space beyond is<br />
largely obscured by the architectural hedges, cre<strong>at</strong>ing<br />
a g<strong>at</strong>eway th<strong>at</strong> invites us into the distant grounds.<br />
As though b<strong>at</strong>hed in the intense light of a summer<br />
noonday, we sense more than see our surroundings.<br />
