It helps me imagine what life might have been like in that time as I delve into history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: 'PT Serif';\"\u003eI have painted a view of a side gate in the morning light. I was particularly enchanted by the terracotta pots and the flowers in the sunlight. I particularly loved how the purple flowers in the nearer pot almost glowed in the light. My viewpoint is from just under a large tree on the edge of the property and I liked the effect of almost looking through the leaves from shade to bright sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: 'PT Serif';\"\u003eThe artwork is signed on the bottom right and comes with a certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: 'PT Serif';\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: 'PT Serif';\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #f3f3ee;\"\u003eAn original artwork painted in oil and acrylics on board\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: 'PT Serif';\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #f3f3ee;\"\u003e23 x12.7 cm and is sold unframed (not ready to hang)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dilrukshi Mendis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67624383545455,"sku":null,"price":215.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/2078\/9615\/files\/69164a62e1b8ea140711df10_slice1_1790842198575.jpg?v=1790842710","url":"https:\/\/www.theonlineartgallery.com.au\/products\/a-slice-of-sherwood-hall","provider":"The Online Art Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
