Grey of Evening
Spenlove-Spenlove was a landscape and genre painter in both oil and watercolour. Having studied in London, Paris and Antwerp he exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy for forty years and also won a gold medal at the Paris Salon in 1901. He worked in Holland, Belgium and in England. As a result his work is well represented in public collections both at home and abroad. Spenlove-Spenlove painted genre scenes for a number of years before turning to landscapes. The dappled brush strokes and manner in which light diffuses the forms in Grey of Evening is particularly reminiscent of paintings by the French Impressionist, Claude Monet (1840-1926).
