Today's #OnlineArtExchange celebrates canals and waterways. This is "The Canal, Banbury, Oxfordshire" by Sheela Drew and it dates c.1956. It is on loan to the marvellous @OxonMuseum
@OxonMRC. Thought @BanburyMuseum might appreciate it too! @artukdotorg
The theme is arboreal for #OnlineArtExchange today. This delicate pencil sketch of trees is "Part of the Gardens of Nuneham House, Nuneham Courtenay, Oxfordshire". It is by Frank Ellerton Dodman (1908–1997). It is in @Russell_Cotes. @artukdotorg
Missed #JeromeKJerome 163rd bday on 2nd May! Jerome Klapka Jerome was English writer, best known for comic travelogue #ThreeMenInABoat (trip up Thames). Spent his last years at farmhouse Gould's Grove, SE of Ewelme, near #Wallingford. His ashes buried at St Mary's Church, #Ewelme
Landscapes is the theme for today's #OnlineArtExchange. This beautiful scene full of colour is #Oxfordshire Landscape by Alfred Aaron Wolmark (1877–1961). It's on permanent loan to @BenUriOnline. Wolmark was a Post Impressionist & pioneer of the New Movement in Art. @artukdotorg
The #OnlineArtExchange theme today is #MothersDay This beautiful scene is "Mother Reading to Two Children" (verso) by Josephine Mason (1872–1952). It's in @lmhoxford. It shows light coming through the open window and a woman in green wth 2 small boys sharing a book. @artukdotorg
These #OnlineArtExchange boots were made for walking... in Wellington's army at Waterloo! Major General Sir Richard Hussey Vivian (Later 1st Lord Vivian) (1775–1842) by Martin Archer Shee (1769–1850) is in @Cornwall_Museum collection. Vivian studied @ExeterCollegeOx. @artukdotorg
You have a wonderful collection of abstract art @OxfordEconDept! Rather taken by this other Mark Rowan-Hull artwork you hold: Blue and Red Abstract with Blue Swirl. They fit @artukdotorg's #OnlineArtExchange today perfectly.
We got it wrong! Rather than light, to mark #COP26 #OnlineArtExchange is Earth. "Creation Myth" by Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957) is held by @NewCollegeOx, @UniofOxford. The abstract planets & moon in these bold colours are striking. @artukdotorg @wyndhamlewissoc
