Les Trewin Godolphin Blues, water-mixable oils, 40 ×32in (101.5 ×81cm)
Godolphin Blues by Les Trewin is a direct representation of a scene he captured at a National Trust heritage site in Cornwall, which he visited in 2018. He writes: ‘It would be easy to wax lyrical about the sublime beauty of the natural landscape bursting into life on a warm, sunny day in late spring; to describe the carpet of blue created by a wide expanse of bluebells set in a leafy green meadow and bathed in the late afternoon glow of the sun; to be surrounded by the long sweetsmelling grass as it dances in the gentle breeze. A lot of that is probably true, but I think the painting is more primitive than that.
