‘The Picnic’
Paul J. Attfield (British b.1950)
 
 
A beautifully painted oil on board depicting two children gathering flowers at the edge of a sunlit meadow. One figure pauses beneath the shade of a tree holding a basket, while the other carefully collects blossoms nearby. Beyond them, figures move gently through the field, and a distant cottage rests beneath soft summer light. Attfield’s impressionistic brushwork and warm palette capture the innocence and quiet charm of childhood in the countryside.
