Yellow Door, Stratford-Upon-Avon Area The following is part of an ongoing series of pieces by local artist Peter Etril Snyder. In the series.

So often a chance view of some unimportant bit of scenery can be the fuse that creates an explosion of creativity. Mary Pratt, a well-known artist from Newfoundland. said that the event that got her back to painting after the raising of her children was a streak of sunlight angling across a bedsheet.

Since the period dress of the Edwardian era has such romance, I think that there is a harmony with the English landscape.
