About the Item

Children Playing in a Farmhouse Flower Garden in the English Countryside by British Artist, Les Parson Art measures 30 x 20 inches Frame measures 36 x 26 inches This image depicts a picturesque and idyllic garden scene with several children engaged in various activities. The garden is lush with greenery and vibrant flowers, creating a serene and charming atmosphere. On the left side of the image, a boy is playing with a toy sailboat at a birdbath. In the center, a group of children, including a girl in a white dress and hat, are having a tea party on the grass. Another boy is kneeling on the ground playing with a toy train set, while a toy soldier stands nearby. To the right, a child is knocking on a green door, and a white cat is sitting on the doorstep. The house is covered with climbing plants and flowers, with an arched entryway partially visible in the background. The scene captures a nostalgic, tranquil moment of childhood play in a beautifully maintained garden. The painting is signed "Les Parson" in the lower left corner. Les Parson has been a popular British Artist with a loyal following for nearly forty years. Despite having a personal interest in art, Parson never received any formal training. Born in Lancashire in 1945, he worked in London as a Computer Engineer until 1974. He then moved to Cornwall working as an installer of Radar, Sonar and Ship to Shore radio on small fishing boats. In a chance meeting with local gallery owners in 1978, Parson was encouraged to expand his artistic skills and transform his hobby into a career. He therefore put aside his pencil sketching and watercolour paintings in lieu of the more permanent medium of oil on canvas and become a flourishing full-time artist. As a professional, Les Parson has become renowned for his nostalgic paintings of rural landscapes featuring children at play. His work is internationally recognised and remain highly-sought after by both domestic and international collectors. British Landscape Artist Vintage Original Oil Paintings (b.1945)
