Standon Village from the Churchyard is a 1940 watercolor by Hawkins, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a village scene from a churchyard. The image features a graveyard with several headstones and trees in the foreground, while in the background, there are houses and fields. The sky is overcast. The artist has used watercolour to create a soft, dreamy effect. The painting's colours are muted, with shades of green, brown, and grey dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the image a sense of movement and energy. The painting is a charming depiction of rural life, capturing the quiet beauty of the English countryside.
