Edmund Blampied was a very successful artist and illustrator in early 20th century Britain. He illustrated many books and magazines, but is best known for his remarkable skills as a printmaker.

The latest original regional marsh painting by this painter. A peaceful serene marsh scene depicting stark trees with the appearance of multi color leaves at their base. Look to the trunks and limbs to find the sky colors there too. The rock lined path takes you to the mid ground where you will find one white heron eying its meal in the marsh waters and two other birds in flight.

What this artist relishes painting is a distant luminous sky...sometimes subtle...sometimes more pronounced.....

Canvas laid on professional archival Amersand museum hard board panel...

An unusual family grouping of three miniature portraits on organic wafers. All pieces, clearly done by the same hand (as yet unidentified), have a wonderful "feel" to them and are cleanly executed. The reverend in his black non-liturgical clothing, his wife in her black dress with white lace and cap, and their beautiful daughter, posed beside a tree and attired in a high-waisted gown with a blue ribbon and wearing a tortoiseshell comb in her hair, are set against a blue sky background...
