  1. Grimshaw had a mastery of portraying wet and “wintry” scenes with such reflective light and delicate attention that revealed their hidden beauty. Thank you, Zephyrinus. - -Comment by Dante P

    1. Completely agree, Dante P.

      Grimshaw's marvellous paintings encapsulate perfectly the “goings on” contained in his paintings.

      One can almost feel the rain coming down upon one.

      And his subdued lighting and use of darkness are formidable attributes.

      One can continue looking at his paintings (especially his composition entitled “November” (see, above)) for hours.

      Delighted you found this Article of interest, Dante P.
