Michael Gordon BROCKWAY (1919-1981) Still Life with Catkins, Oil on Canvas

A delightful floral still life with catkins, ceramic vase amongst copper plate and book upon a teal ground. Brockway expertly captures the soft playfulness of the catkins, practically dancing their way out of the composition.

After deciding to take up painting professionally he studied at the Ruskin School of Drawing, Oxford and Farnham School of Art.
