William Page Atkinson Wells (1872-1923) was a British painter known for his slightly bleak images of the north country.
The Girl in the Meadow.
He was not a painter of the sea, but often of the shore:
The "Two Sisters" and the "Francis Beddoe."
The word that comes to my mind when I look at these is "quiet."
Maguerites in the Meadow.
There is no brashness here, no grab for attention, just a simple beauty.
A Street in Topsham, Devon.
A Lancashire Village, 1908.
Netting the Stacks.
Haymaking. Very pleasant, especially when things are crazy and you need to be soothed.
