Artist Statement:
Every year Cornish artist Tom
Henderson Smith creates a
painting inspired by the
summer festival in his town,
St Just-in-Penwith, putting it
up for auction as a fund
raiser for this brilliant
community event. “This is a
wonderful time of year in St
Just” says Tom “in particular
the carnival atmosphere of
Lafrowda Day brings the whole
town alive and what a pleasure
it is for me to celebrate the
life of our community in paint
based on the inspiration it
brings me. I relish this
opportunity to give something
back to our very special town
and hope you feel the same.”
Every new bidder receives a
free print of the picture. A
range of prints of his
previous Lafrowda paintings is
also available at
http://www.hendersonsmith.co.uk
/Lafrowda2010auction.htm and
of his landscape and seascape
work elsewhere on his
website....
