Pump Room, Bath
“Pump Room in the Snow” is a large studio watercolour by my husband Alan Reed based on studies made on location in Bath. Over the last two years he entered the Bath Prize, a painting competition held annually in Bath where contestants are given a specific location in Bath to paint “plein air”. Once they have painted their allocated scene before the competition deadline, they can enter other paintings they may have done of Bath. In 2010 he came runner up with the painting of the Royal Crescent and in 2011 and won first prize for the best painting of the Circus in Bath. The little girl dressed in a bright red coat (our eldest granddaughter Emily) added an important focal point to the composition. The original watercolour can be seen at the Studio & Gallery in Ponteland.
