I'm continuing with my own work on British art history and its obvious that the Newlyn and British Impressionism artists and schools overlap much more than I originally thought. So I will in the future include them on this blog along with some later 'modern' art I think is important.
When I have more time I will also include more text to try and explain these lovely pictures and their context. I will still include features of life in this period, though those interested may like to look at my other blog

The other blogs now incorporated here will be:
http://newlynschoolpainters.blogspot.com/
http://20artselected.blogspot.com/
http://dorotheasharp.blogspot.com/
The period covered here was roughly meant to follow Messum's (dealer) but they start at 1750 and I prefer roughly 1837 - the start of the Victorian era.
I'm aware that my Pre-Raphaelite blog could be included here
http://preraphaelitepaintings.blogspot.com/
but I'm still finding out so much about that 'movement' and the artists involved that I would prefer to keep the blogs separate, despite some obvious overlaps.
