Gardens in the summertime by Sir Alfred Munnings:


"I NEVER tire of my garden. This morning is bright. Light flashes in the laurels. The sound of the rustling leaves of an old plane-tree...".


- Sir Alfred Munnings in his Autobiography, An Artist's Life 1950.

Munnings ecalled the pleasures of rowing along the river:

“passing along level with the banks on peaceful, calm surfaces, forcing the canoes through eddying narrows, between thick clumps of dark green rushes in the shallows …”

We are celebrating #NationalWritingDay with ‘the dog about town’, Black Knight.


Black Knight’s book, ‘The Diary of A Freeman’ was first published in 1953.


The proceeds of his book bought PDSA ambulances.

It was in the aftermath of the First World War that Munnings began to secure commissions to paint thoroughbred horses.

In later life, Newmarket racecourse was where he went to recharge, relax, socialise & paint for himself in his own style, free from the demands of a patron.

‘…I think of afternoons in a boat...She looks ahead from under a wide straw hat, light from the ripples reflected up into her face. Sunlight falls on the shady hat & pink dress; & the river in the shadows, with glitter on the lily-leaves and water-moss, is the background…’.
