William Selwyn (Welsh b.1933)
'Florence'
Original signed watercolour, charcoal and pencil, circa 1980's
Born in Caernarfon in 1933 William Selwyn completed National Service in 1954 before attending Bangor Normal College and he then became an art teacher at two Caernarfon schools - Maesincla Primary School and Ysgol Syr Hugh Owen Comprehensive. William retired from teaching in 1990 and took up painting full-time.
William Selwyn’s subject matters vary from Welsh landscape, to animals and the workingman with occasional views of European cities. Selwyn’s style is characterised by atmospheric washes of paint which reminds many of JMW Turner's turbulent scenes, this particular work is a great example of this.
