One of an ongoing series of exhibitions of paintings in watercolours and oils based upon Chris’ travels abroad with his sketchbooks.

After retiring from running a successful Gallery in Northleach Chris has relocated to Great Rollright in Oxfordshire and now paints full time. He paints to commission but his exhibitions give him space to express his first love of simply putting brush to paper and painting beautiful places -all paintings for sale. Why not come along and meet the artist!

This was inspired by the purchase of an old book by the same name, written by Edward Hutton, and published by Methuen, in 1905, with 20 colour plates taken from original watercolours by ‘A.Pisa’.

"The book was found by chance in an Oxfam shop in Highgate one Sunday morning; I was immediately taken by the spirit of the book, and in particular by the attractive watercolours. I wondered what these old cities and hilltowns are like now? And how would I paint and draw them..?"

'The Cities of Umbria'...following in the footsteps of travel writer Edward Hutton but with a new interpretation, updated travel notes and original watercolour paintings of the Cities of Umbria as they are in 2010!
