Derek Jarman described the series of paintings from which ‘Landscape with Sandbars’ comes as empty and ‘waiting for something to happen’. The work seems to anticipate his later fascination with the coastal landscape on Dungeness, where he established his home Prospect Cottage.

This watercolour by Charles Rennie #Mackintosh, titled 'Pine Cones and Needles', is fitting for the festive season!🎄 This study was made during a stay in Walberswick, likely from a cultivated pine specimen as the nearest indigenous woodlands of Scots Pine were in the Highlands.

Many of the works in ‘Digging in Another Time: Derek Jarman’s Modern Nature’ were informed by the artist’s AIDS activism. Jarman campaigned tirelessly against representations of the illness in British media and his later paintings convey a palpable sense of anger.

This watercolour titled ‘Jasmine’ is part of a series of botanical studies by Scottish artist and architect Charles Rennie #Mackintosh. It shows vibrant yellow jasmine flowers, which often appear before Christmas in mild enough temperatures, and can last through to Spring!
