This is a signed abstract painting in pencil, charcoal and gouache by St Ives artist David Holmes. Holmes was enticed to St Ives by West Cornwall's rawness of weather, colour, light and landscape in 1998. The move came after 20 years in Peterborough lecturing. His work was exhibited at the Foyles Art Gallery 1961, the Royal Society of British Artists’ Young Contemporaries Exhibition of 1962 and the Ulster Museum 1964, and AIA Gallery in London from 1966 to 1984. His obituary can be found on the Guardian website.
