About the Item

Children holding pails with chickens by a duck pond & cottage in the English Countryside by British Artist, Les Parson entitled 'Arm in Arm'. Art measures 16 x 12 inches Frame measures 23 x 19 inches This delightful painting evokes the charm of rural life with its depiction of a quaint cottage set amidst lush greenery and blooming flowers. The scene is beautifully framed by an ornate gold frame, enhancing the artwork’s classic and timeless appeal. The cottage, partially hidden by trees and surrounded by vibrant plants, appears warm and inviting, bathed in soft, natural light that brings out the delicate colors of the foliage and flowers. In the foreground, two figures stroll along a path lined with chickens, adding a touch of narrative and nostalgia to the scene. The peaceful pond, with ducks gliding across its calm surface, further emphasizes the tranquility of this pastoral setting. The artist’s attention to detail and gentle brushwork create a harmonious blend of colors and textures, capturing the essence of an idyllic countryside day. This painting is perfect for anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature and the serenity of country life. Its intricate details and soothing composition make it a captivating piece that would bring warmth and elegance to any home. The combination of a storybook-like setting and a high-quality frame make it an outstanding choice for collectors and lovers of traditional art. The painting depicts two children, arm in arm, holding pails with chickens by a duck pond, and is signed "Les Parson" in the lower right corner. Les Parson has been a popular British Artist with a loyal following for nearly forty years. Despite having a personal interest in art, Parson never received any formal training. Born in Lancashire in 1945, he worked in London as a Computer Engineer until 1974. He then moved to Cornwall working as an installer of Radar, Sonar and Ship to Shore radio on small fishing boats. In a chance meeting with local gallery owners in 1978, Parson was encouraged to expand his artistic skills and transform his hobby into a career. He therefore put aside his pencil sketching and watercolour paintings in lieu of the more permanent medium of oil on canvas and become a flourishing full-time artist. As a professional, Les Parson has become renowned for his nostalgic paintings of rural landscapes featuring children at play. His work is internationally recognised and remain highly-sought after by both domestic and international collectors. British Landscape Artist Vintage Original Oil Paintings (b.1945)
