| Description | This lovely British Edwardian Impressionist oil painting is by noted artist Tom Mostyn. Painted circa 1910, the composition is a view looking out over a pond with fountain, across grass towards the sea. The whole painting is bathed in soft evening light, filtered through tall trees and reflected in the pond water. In the foreground to the right stands a fountain and to the left are beautiful bluey white flowers interspersed with red ones. The brushwork is superb and the colours really vibrant.
