Bagshot House

Bagshot House .......this painting was one of a collection of 27 pieces ,for a full scale exhibit in 2006 of old places , from homes to parks to old offices , that were no longer standing this beautiful house , was owned by a well known family in Trinidad, and had a sweeping lawn area and was surrounded by beautiful trees ,that framed it with walk ways and little paths ,it was a breath taking place to just look at , however the family sold it and that was its demise ,as it was torn down and all the beauty around it was cut down , to leave a barren piece of land it was all done at night .... this was a very sad thing .... my exhibition in 2006 was titled.. Shadows of Yesterday ....as it spoke volumes of the places gone from our landscape , many artist have painted this house , i had tried not to, staying away from what had been reproduced often however i was asked to do this for the exhibit ,and i am very very proud to say that the original was purchased by a member of the family that lived there for many years ... it has been said its the very best painting ,of the house ever painted by any artist by the family that lived there ,this in its rite is a very high compliment ....enjoy it ....
