I didn't know the name Rose Barton but I did know about Hyde Park promenades, fashion parades, royal carriage rides and general socialising right up to Edwardian times. Some of her paintings are perfect for my theme, so thank you thank you.
ReplyDeleteHer paintings don't come up for sae very often but are always striking. I really liked the impressionistic nature of this.
