I saw these (1 of 3) at an auction recently and wanted to add them to my Joan Madge collection
They do have a 'Poldark' like feel to them and of course work well in any coastal setting. Please get in touch if you can help or indeed pinpoint the location of the painting in Bude, Cornwall.
About the artist
Joan Madge
Joan Madge (Mrs J Winlove-Smith of Crooklets, Bude) has painted for a number of years, following an art training in Sussex, Plymouth School of Art and the Central Schoolof Art (London). Her work became known when her painting "Homage", depicting the Lying-in-State of the late Sir Winston Churchill, was purchased by His Grace the Duke of Marlborough. This painting now hangs in the birthroom of the late Sir Winston Churchill at Blenheim Palace. She also painted in Greece with studies of the Greek Islands, the Aegean Sea and Athens, as well as the more familiar landscapes and sea-scapes of Cornwall and Devon.
