Augustus john was a flamboyant character by all accounts and rather shocked the local inhabitants of Swanage with his Bohemian ways,
this painting shows cliffs in the background and two presumebly models posing.

Charles Conder is fast becoming a favourite of mine at the moment.
This painting or to be more accurate oil sketch is of Swanage Coastguard station.
He painted this during a stay with his younger friend Augustus John.
They both used this trip to escape the pressure of living in London or Paris for inspiration and hard work
