Description:
A powerful and atmospheric watercolour depicting St Mary’s Church in Adderbury, Oxfordshire, painted by British artist John Steane in the late 1980s or 1990s. The painting captures the dramatic silhouette of the Gothic church, with its soaring spire, ornate tracery windows, and richly coloured stonework bathed in raking afternoon light. The viewpoint from within the graveyard offers strong visual impact, with tilted and weathered gravestones casting long shadows across the grass.
St Mary’s, Adderbury is one of Oxfordshire’s most historically significant churches, dating from the 13th century with later 14th-century additions. It is celebrated for its beautiful Decorated Gothic architecture and imposing presence in the village. Steane’s composition does justice to the church’s grandeur, but also introduces an emotional depth through the expressive sky and angled foreground, creating a moment of quiet reverence and timelessness.
This painting will appeal to collectors interested in ecclesiastical architecture, Oxfordshire landmarks, or the emotive tradition of British landscape and village scenes. The signed work combines technical skill with a strong sense of place and story.

The view of Selsley Church sitting just below Selseley's undoubtedly triangular piece of common. This is the view from my Parent's living room window in Stroud. Perhaps the best view of Stroud I have ever seen. Painted on Saunders Waterford 300gsm Watercolour Paper.
