Kirsten talks about her admiration for this painting;
Before the William Morris Gallery was renovated, many of Frank Brangwyn's painting were on permanent show upstairs. Living a stone's throw from it I would often pop upstairs for a few minutes and admire his brush strokes. For me he was one if the best painters ever, I love the looseness you see when you go close up to his paintings.
Whenever I take a break from print making and try my hand at painting I have his work in mind but I don't think life is long enough to get to his level! The three Lloyd Park geese are a 'warm up' to a bigger painting I would love to do in the style of his swans , a painting you can admire upstairs in the gallery.
