As an artist I love the work of the STAITHES GROUP of artists. Recently, I have acquired Owen Bowen’s old desk. Owen was contemporary with Laura Knight both of whom were members of the Staines Group. It was a wonderful surprise to find various items inside. Here are three watercolour palettes, including Windsor and Newton paints. I am tempted to clean them up but hesitate as I feel it might be a sort of sacrilege. The paint marks have been made by Owen and have a sort of integrity and history which I ask reluctant to remove. What do you think?
