The Halcyon Days, John Parsons

Butterflies rise from a field of sunflowers into a luminous blue sky in this three-dimensional mixed media work, created on a circular barrel. Hand-cut wings flecked with copper and gold lift from weathered blue planks, casting shadows that shift as you move past.

🎨Artist William Pounds🎨

Two miniature oil paintings by William Pounds, displayed at the Palais des Vaches gallery.

William trained as an architectural historian before studying at Chelsea School of Art. His work combines architectural precision with a painterly touch, and has included commissions at Exbury, Dyrham Park and Kew Gardens. Seen up close, these tiny paintings show the same patient detail as his larger house portraits.
