About the Work
This
is
a
bit
of
a
biased
choice
as
Ted
Lewis
was
my
father-in-law.
Most
of
his
works
in
the
Sarjeant’s
collection
are
detailed
pen
and
ink
sketches
from
when
he
was
in
Italy
in
WW2.
I
prefer
the
strong
colours
in
this
landscape.
The
composition
appeals
with
the
strong
alternating
contrasts
of
light
and
dark
and
the
strong
verticals
as
in
the
trees.
There
is
stillness
to
the
painting
and
lovely
reflections
in
the
lake.
