Description:
This original oil on canvas by Michael Bowman captures the charm of Dorchester as seen from Coker’s Frome. Bowman’s impressionistic handling of sky and water creates a vivid sense of atmosphere, while the detailing of the church spires situates the work firmly within Dorset’s historic landscape tradition. A fine example of regional English painting, well suited to collectors of British landscape art or those with connections to Dorchester.
