A Lark Ascending Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Posted August 21, 2015 Went to the Ravilious exhibition in London last weekend - quite wonderful. Particularly taken by this picture of one of my favourite parts of Britain (it shows the Westbury White Horse carved into the chalk dip slope on one of the beautifully curvaceous hills in Wiltshire).

Nice one - never seen that picture before but often checked out that view from there. There's an iron age hill fort (Bratton Castle) at that spot and the village of Eddington just below (plus a cement works creating smoke in place of the train) Edited August 23, 2015 by sidewinder Quote

Ravilious seemed quite keen on those horses:There's also the really famous one viewed from inside the railway carriage. On a different subject I was really taken by this one:His paintings from his period as a war artist in WWII are fascinating too. Edited August 23, 2015 by A Lark Ascending Quote
