This (photo) reminds me of that (painting)
The photograph on the left is one I took of a decorative old water pump in the garden of Paycocke’s House, in Coggeshall, Essex in the summer. The painting the right is one I painted in 1986 called The blue conduit. I couldn’t help but be reminded of the painting I did many years ago.
For some reason, tubes and pipes and cylinders have always been something I’ve been interested in using in images. A photo I took just the other day is a good example (see below).
Water pump, Paycocke’s House - a Tudor merchant’s house in Coggeshall, Essex. N.B. The image is reversed to align better with the painting
