SUMMARY:Willingdon and Beyond: The paintings of Robert E. Wells RBA NEAC
DESCRIPTION:“Willingdon and Beyond” offers viewers a fresh panorama of Robert E. Wells’ world. Celebrated for his cityscapes\, rural settings and subtle figurative pieces\, Wells turns his gaze to the edges of familiar landscapes exploring shifts in light and atmosphere. His plein-air techniques imbue landscapes with immediacy\, while his limited but expressive figures suggest quiet narratives. Tonal subtlety\, a hallmark of his style\, underpins the works\, allowing mood and place to emerge rather than dominate. Overall\, the show invites reflection: of place\, memory and the horizon beyond.

Take your box home with you!​ \nAdditional Information \nMaterials provided flat packed and ready to assemble in our classroom.\nSuitable for ages 6+ (all under 18’s must be supervised by an adult)
