Product Information
Beautifully produced, this new book celebrates the timeless beauty of Blenheim Park and makes an ideal gift for art lovers, poetry enthusiasts, and anyone captivated by the English landscape.
Blenheim: Reflections in Paint and Poetry, showcases more than fifty of Rod Craig's watercolours painted in Blenheim Park over the past two decades.
Rod Craig, who lives and works a stone’s throw from Blenheim Palace, is well known for his expressive landscape paintings.
The book pairs Rod’s vibrant watercolours with evocative poems by his longtime friend and collaborator, Peter Adamson, alongside a thoughtful introduction on the art of watercolour.
For Rod Craig, the park’s historic trees are a constant source of inspiration:
“On my morning walks through Capability Brown's magnificent Blenheim landscapes, it’s the trees that captivate me most—the ancient Oaks, the Copper Beeches, the Sycamores. I will never tire of painting them, observing their changes through the seasons and reflecting on the centuries they have witnessed. One oak in the park is over 1,000 years old—a humbling reminder of the enduring beauty of nature.”
Blenheim: Reflections in Paint and Poetry is both a celebration of the Oxfordshire landscape and a reflection on its history, offering readers an intimate journey through paint, poetry, and place.
A beautiful coffee table book.
