This dramatic watercolour of Treales Mill by Walter Eastwood owes its impact to Eastwood’s bold use of colour, the strong cobalt door and windows set in stark contrast to the red of the brickwork. The two colours, which merge to form the deep shadow on the right of the mill and the backs of the sails, are applied in a free painterly style.
Eastwood’s energetic gestural brushwork is an important pictorial force within the image, which stops the eye at the windmill, the focal point of the shallow plane of the picture.
Derelict Treales Mill was exhibited by Walter Eastwood in 1931 at the Royal Cambrian Academy's annual exhibition at Plas Mawr.
The asking price was 8 guineas.
