General Notes

Note Type

Artist’s Intent Note

Note

"Eventually settling in Richmond, Petley-Jones regularly treated the Thames River. Just outside London, anchored sailboats populate a marina. Fascinated by the endlessly mutable surface of water, Petley-Jones layered unblended colors to create the sensation of glistening waves"(Impressionist Legacies 100).
