Owen Bowen ROI, Winter In Lower Wharfedale, Yorkshire

Owen Bowen ROI, Winter In Lower Wharfedale, YorkshireThis charming mid 20th century oil painting by British artist Owen Bowen ROI (1873 1967) depicts a wintery snow covered view in Lower Wharfdale, Yorkshire. In all conditions, regardless of the brutality of the elements, Bowens works are joyous. Here, amid the bitter ice and ankle deep crunch of snow, the barren trees stretch like welcoming old companions. The river, near frozen, winds gently in a soft array of impressionistic marks.
