Description:

Golden Gorse Oil on board, 9 1⁄2" x 12 1⁄2" Signed and dated 1910 $20,000. - 25,000."During the first rehearsal in my new environment I developed a passion for the gorgeous, blazing yellow of gorse in bloom, and looking back, I am sorrowful to think how little I indulged it and how many springs and summers have slipped away since then. Now lying in the sun, breathing almond scented airs, dreaming, listening to the hum of bees and the tiny snapping of gorse-beans bursting in the heat and stillness of noon. Each year when as President I sat in the center of a dozen men in a half circle in Gallery III, searching and looking for the best work, or later moving through the crowd on Private View day, whilst gorse in bloom on Ringland Hills was scenting the air. Another spring passing to summer in vain for me!"Sir Alfred Munnings, An Artist's Life, Collector's Book Club, 1950, p. 212 (Key Words: Thoroughbred Horse Racing, Polo, Steeplechase, Fox Hunting, Shooting, Fishing, African Wildlife, Western)
