There, he spent a year recording the life around him as it changed through the seasons. This strikingly realistic, even stark series of watercolours speaks eloquently of the realities that confront farmers everywhere: the harsh and unpredictable weather, the hard work of farming, the risks involved in day-to-day living with the land. Accompanying the artist's paintings of the people and places around him is a wonderfully personal text that enables every reader to share the author's experience--that of an outsider, a city dweller, an artist whose love of light and colour gives him  a special vision of his surroundings. This is an affecting and beautiful book, rich in specific detail yet universal in its perceptions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roger Coleman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49795500802345,"sku":"281166B","price":12.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/9435\/7545\/files\/downland-a-farm-and-a-village-150737.webp?v=1754404327","url":"https:\/\/thebookstore.pro\/products\/downland-a-farm-and-a-village","provider":"The Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
