Daniel Sherrin, Landscape With Cottages & Pond

Daniel Sherrin, Landscape With Cottages & PondA peaceful landscape painting with cottages, pond and figures by British painter, Daniel Sherrin (1868 1942). Sherrin had a fondness for using diagonal paths to draw you closer to the scenery. Note how your eye is drawn towards the bottom left hand corner and then across the composition, via the sunset, towards the distant woodland. Daniel Sherrin was born in Brentwood, Essex and was trained by his father, John Sherrin a flower and still life painter.
