A fine and vivid garden landscape by the British listed artist John Cherrington (1931-2015), with a cottage and pathway in the winter. An overwhelming purple palette combines the artist's distinct style with the overgrown flora in the composition. Cherrington employs short brushstrokes in an impressionistic manner, building layers with a varied palette, in order to create an overall richness of tone and mood. This intriguing viewpoint enhances the paring of naturalistic and geometric features in the scene.

John Cherrington was born in 1931. He studied at Hornsea Art College, and moved to Paris at the age of 16 to study art and art history. Cherrington served in the Army for eight years, and afterwards qualified as an art teacher. He taught art in London until moving to Herefordshire in 1977.
Cherrington was a prolific but relatively unknown painter, due to his shyness and unwillingness to put forward his work. Despite this reluctance, many of his paintings were accepted by the Royal Society of Portrait Painters between 1969 and 1974. His wonderful sketches of local characters are full of expression and talent. He produced paintings of bulls for local farmers, and was known to sketch customers in pubs.
Cherrington said his art was “stimulated by the visual world around him, which he found both tormenting and marvellous”.
Cherrington passed away in 2015 in North Wales.
