Robin Oliver (American, b. 1958) Wheelbarrow, James Garden. Signed and dated "Robin Oliver 92" l.r., titled on a gummed label affixed to the stretcher. Oil on canvas, 14 x 18 in., framed. Condition: Minor surface grime. N.B. The artist has kindly commented on this work: Regarding the painting of the James Garden, the garden belongs to the former home of the artist Alexander James. Alec and Freddie (as his wife was known) purchased the house while on a trip to Dublin, New Hampshire, to visit Abbott Thayer. The brick Georgian style home had no gardens at the time, and the Jameses designed elaborate gardens around the house and added mortared stone walls with fashionable brick corners to provide privacy and to give the gardens a European look and feel, including a brick garden house.
