Monday 20th April - Fine Art & Local Artist Picture Sale
An oil on canvas painting by Lucy Collins, executed in a Northern English naive style. The composition depicts a line of stylised figures, including individuals on bicycles and others walking, leaning into the wind amidst a heavy snowfall. The background features the silhouettes of colliery headframes and smoking industrial chimneys set against a dramatic reddish-orange sky. To the right, a snow-covered building is inscribed with the words Miners Arms, Ale, and Stout, identifying it as a public house. The artist has employed a prominent impasto technique to create the texture of the white snowflakes and snowdrifts, contrasting with the flatter application of paint used for the figures and industrial structures. The work is signed Lucy Collins in the lower-left corner. The canvas texture is clearly visible through the paint layer. The painting is housed in a simple, modern red-painted wooden frame.
