This work was painted at Gerald Gardiner’s home in Gloucestershire in the mid 1930s and is a good example of his depiction of a night-time scene, showing the light, the reflections and shadows cast by the oil lamp and fire as his wife, Evelyn contentedly reads a book.

It’s the first big snowstorm of the season so you know what that means… Seed catalog time! 🌱💚❄️ #gardening #catsky #cozy #winter
