Boys’ Royal Foster Home, Hellebaek, Denmark

Watercolour, 37 x 46 cms plus matte, frame of natural wood and textured gold edge and glass. 1964.

Painted in situ when I was an English teacher in Denmark, Scandinavia. A magnfificent old building, built mid 1700’s Rococco style. After WW2 it became the Royal Fostering Home for Boys until 2007. Working in such historic surrounds gives an example of how my travelling experiences illumined my teaching as an Art Historian back in Perth from the end of the same year..
