More Information about this picture: He works in watercolour, oil and pastel, and his motivation as an artist is best illustrated by his affection for the figure-work of the Cornish Newlyn School of artists, which at the turn of the twentieth century included Stanhope Forbes and Dame Laura Knight. He admires their work because it provided ‘a breath of fresh air’ and Raymond Leech believes that a successful painting is not just a picture, but one that captures the air around the subject and the atmosphere as well. Artist: Raymond Leech Raymond Leech was born at Great Yarmouth in East Anglia in 1949 and spent his childhood by the seaside.
He was influenced to take up an artistic career by his father, who taught him to draw. In particular, he was inspired by the work of the Newlyn School, the French impressionists, Degas, Renoir and Toulouse Lautrec. Nostalgia Gift Idea: Looking for that perfect Nostalgia picture to send as a gift?
