Winter in Grasmere, 1951 – Greeting Card

Description

One of many paintings William did of his home valley, this is a marvellous example of using both wet and dry watercolour brush together in order to depict all of the water-reeds, trees and bullrushes by the lake. This rustic setting is completed by a tide of rising mist coupled with chimney smoke escaping out of the village, into the cold night air.
