  The Quantock Hills, Somerset by Edward John William North, ARA, RWS (1842-1924)

North told me that his "oil" technique was an endeavour to get as near as possible to the effect of water colour which he considered a less encumbered means of expression.

 John William North ARA RWS
North bought to paint in his big picture of the water meadows, and of his planting the wild woods with bulbs to flower in the spring.
