    Shooters Hill Wood by Andrew Pepworth

    Shooters Hill Wood by Andrew Pepworth

    Today I added a painting entitled Shooters Hill Wood, by Andrew Pepworth to the collection of header images on display, at first glance it appears to be a summertime scene, since everything is growing well but without much in the way of colours other than green/brown. It is probably based on a mid morning impression, as the light is probably coming from the east and the sun is still rising.

    As for the location, I’d hazard a guess that the view is of somewhere in Castle Wood as the footpath seems to be quite narrow and steep…

    Poster from London Transport Museum

    Whilst at the recent Severndroog Open House Event I was looking at the exhibition boards and a reproduction of an old poster advertising trams to castlewood back in the 1920’s really caught my attention.

    It’s presumably painted from the point of view of the number 44/46 tram stop, wherever that was at the time, with a scene leading up towards the castle, and as it turns out, is available to buy from the London Transport Museum.
