Towards the Beach by John Patchett
John Patchett is regarded as one of the country's leading exponents in the art of pastel painting and his love for the vibrancy and freshness of the pastels is a feature of his work.

#FontsOnFriday Love antiquarian sources, but they sometimes contradict. From 1810 source, Sudbury, St. Gregory, Suffolk font cover was “adorned w/ the four lambs ..., symbols of the evangelists & angels w/shields w/ different family arms." But 1791 print does not show this. 😪
#MedievalTwitter #FontCovers Ufford & Sudbury, Suffolk. R.G., Vetusta Monumenta (1791) vol. 3, pl. XXV, pl. 25. Artist omited rope/pulley of counter-weight that pulled up the central iron rod & the “dark blue curtain” which covered all (still in 1825 print) + details cover now.
Been working on old drawings to finally go digital.

In Suffolk, East Anglia, freshwater mermaids are reputed to lurk in rivers and ponds, waiting to drown passers-by, especially children. They are particularly savage.
“Mer” is Old English for “mere”, meaning “pool”.
