Available for sale from Big Sky Fine Art in the English county of Dorset, this original painting is by the Welsh artist Roger Cecil and dates from around 1964.
The watercolor and pastel work is presented and supplied in a sympathetic contemporary frame (our stock frame, which is shown in these photographs), mounted using conservation materials and behind glass. The original backboard has been reused but the artwork has been isolated from it using conservation barrier materials.
This vintage artwork is in good condition, commensurate with its age. Previous cockling (rippling) of the paper has been eliminated by stretching and the use of a new mounting. Previous foxing and age marks have been mechanically removed and the coarse fiber of the paper has been made good in these areas. The painting is now ready to hang and display.
The watercolor is signed lower left.
Provenance: Previously with the Howard Roberts Gallery, Imperial Buildings, 69/74 St Mary Street, Cardiff.

Roger Cecil was a reclusive painter, draughtsman and teacher. He was born in Wales and lived and worked there for the last four decades of his life, much of it in the house where he was born and brought up.

Cecil produced abstract work rich in imagery, poetry and color, which were drawn from his environment, the industrial valley towns and mountains. Prolific and obsessive, he was always a solitary artist, with no affiliations to any group or artistic movement. He worked for more than forty years, with an ever evolving and prolific creative output. His pictures capture the geology and the history of the places he knew so intimately, and the impact of man of that environment.
The BBC made a television documentary on Cecil's work called The Gentle Rebel. In the mature years of his career, and despite a well-earned reputation as one of Wales’ most accomplished artists, Cecil continued to push his practice and develop his work. He remained a very private and modest man, and certainly a reluctant hero.

This original watercolor and pastel on paper by Roger Cecil depicts the Llangorse Lake east of Brecon, between the Central Beacons and the Black Mountains of Wales. Llangorse Lake is the largest natural lake in Wales, lying in a hollow formed by glacial action. It is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSCI). The view takes us across the gorse and meadows in the foreground, over the tranquil lake and to the magnificent mountain range in the background. The palette is neutral, though with warm shades, and the overall effect is one of peace and serenity.

We provide a professional shipping and delivery service on this particular painting which is free to customers in the UK, Europe, USA and Canada. We can also provide other worldwide delivery on any purchase. Please contact us for further information. less
