An oil on board by British artist Biddy Picard, executed in 1965 as part of the Cornish Rocks and Sky Spaces series. The composition reflects Picard’s engagement with the landscape of West Cornwall, reducing natural forms into areas of colour and simplified structure.
Born in Derbyshire in 1922, Picard studied at Chesterfield School of Art before continuing at the Slade. Together with her husband, the artist Bill Picard, she became closely associated with the artistic communities of Mousehole and Newlyn. A longstanding member of the Newlyn Society of Artists, she also taught painting and ceramics at Penzance School of Art. Her work is recognised for its expressive use of colour and enduring connection to the Cornish landscape.
