The Old Fence

As I was wandering through Devonport the other day, this section of broken down wooden fence reminded me of some of the series of pieces of work by the famous British Abstract artist,  

Patrick Heron (1920 - 1999).

Heron was born in Leeds, Yorkshire, but his family moved to St Ives in Cornwall in 1925 and by 1944-5 he was part of the famous group of artists who were known as the St Ives School, along with Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth and many more.

Here is one of his Horizontal Stripes paintings.
