Rex. N. Preston - Original 1974 Oil. Signed and dated. On canvas on stretchers. Condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration.Rex Preston was born in Yardley, Birmingham in 1948. He trained at Newcastle under Lyme School of Art and then Derby College of Art. After college, Rex initially worked as a print designer at Bemrose Printers in Derby, but never stopped painting in whatever spare time was available and soon began to sell several of his paintings. At the age of 21 he resigned from his job to concentrate on painting full time; a decision he has never regretted. In his early years as an artist, he painted a variety of subjects, but his interest in the countryside naturally led him towards landscape painting. A continuous observation of nature has shaped all of his painting. Each year he goes on many painting trips around the country, either finding new areas to paint or revisiting favourite areas like Cornwall or the Lake District. Although Rex has painted in watercolour and acrylic, he always returns to oil painting as his preferred medium.For more information please click here.
