Description

We are delighted to offer for sale this lovely oil on canvas by the artist Walter Robin Jennings, who has signed the painting W. R. Jennings in the lower left hand corner and dated it '74. The artist has not on this occasion given us the location, however, on a previous painting, now sold, he kindly inscribed the location on the back on the canvas as Enville Estate (Enville is between Stourbridge and Bridgenorth, Nr. Kinver). The painting depicts two horses, a grey and a bay, standing just beneath the trees at the edge of a wood, on a sunny day in autumn.

Walter Robin Jennings 1927-2005 was born in Dudley, Staffordshire and was an active artist throughout most of his working life. He was a landscape and animal painter, primarily in oil and exhibited widely. His work has been reproduced in card form by Medici, Royle and Solomon & Whitehead. He sadly died in Kiderminster in 2005.

There is one of his paintings in the National Collection and can be viewed at Dudley Museum.
