Description

We are delighted to offer for sale this beautiful, subtly toned pastel by the artist WENDY REEVES, who has signed the pastel W. Reeves in the lower left hand corner. The pastel depicts a misty Highland landscape, with the mountains in the distance wreathed in mist and the dying embers of the setting sun are reflected in the waters of the loch. There is a small flock of sheep grazing near the edge of the left bank of the loch.

Wendy Reeves was born in 1944 in Ewell, Surrey, the eldest of five children. She enherited her artistic talent from her father Gordon Reeves, an accomplished artist. She has had no formal art training. On her return from Spain in l965, where she was inspired by the colourful landscapes, she decided to turn professional and since then, her paintings and pastels have found a ready market. She travelled extensively in the UK looking for inspiration for her paintings.

She specialises in oils and pastel of Highland scenes, Irish landscapes and lakeland scenes. Her work is in many leading galleries and has been reproduced as limited edition prints and greetings cards. She now lives in East Anglia.
