Artist: KATHLEEN TYSON

Title: 'A QUIET COVE'  -  framed oil on canvas

Description:  Kathleen Tyson (1898-1982) was born in Grimsby and she lived there for a good many years before moving to Bournemouth. She studied at Grimsby and Hull Schools of Art, and later at the Westminster School of Art. Kathleen Tyson exhibited at the Royal Academy, London Group, New English Art Club etc, and she was a member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists and the Society of Women Artists.  She is best known for her coastal scenes of Britain.

The present painting is an oil on canvas, measuring about 20 x 24 inches canvas size, which is signed by the artist lower right and inscribed by her with her name on the stretcher.  The oil is in good original condition but would benefit from a light clean as the varnish has discoloured a little in the sky area.  The work is housed in a frame about 10 to 20 years old (not the original frame) which is in pretty good condition although it does have one or two very minor chips.

The artist did not title the painting on the back of the picture.  Our feeling is that the work dates to the early 1960s and that it may well be one of the oils she produced in the Isles of Scilly during that period.  Gimble Bay, Tresco was a favoured spot of hers...
