Description

This exhibiiton features John Lander's still-life painting, in particular his flowers and vases. In his still-lifes, Lander shows his use of realism and paints with an eloquent and precise watercolour technique. Lander, "I have been combining images drawn from life with photographs I made outside the studio."
