Modern Flower Painting
"hemlock and convolvulus"
persuasive to the artist, for they are the work
of a man who can see and whose craftsmanship
is beyond reproach. Both Mr. James and Mr.
Wardle attain what they have set out to do,
though the roads they take are widely apart.
Mr. Sheringham goes by yet another road,
but it is one which suits him well, and which
leads him to notable accomplishment. A
decorator of exceptional originality, he treats
water-colour by arthur wardle
the flower motive as the basis for designs of
exquisitely dainty complexity, for patterns
woven with inexhaustible ingenuity and worked
out with a most subtle appreciation of the
balance of lines and the relations of colour.
Among the flower painters of to-day he has a
place of high importance, for he sets an example
by which the men who look to Nature for their
inspiration in design can greatly profit.
