Martin Hardie painted Wiverton Church, from Clay in 1936. It’s a quiet watercolour view of the church across a meadow. He worked in watercolour and spent years at the Victoria and Albert Museum. The painting shows his respect for Constable’s skies. That style was part of a bigger British project called Recording Britain during World War II. Next time you’re at the Victoria and Albert Museum, look for their watercolours.
