2009 Cookham Festival Highlights

ANIMAL MAGIC - RALPH THOMPSON'S ART

PARISH CENTRE

This is a rare opportunity to see a large number of original paintings by the acclaimed Cookham Dean painter, Ralph Thompson, friend of Stanley Spencer and illustrator of the animal books by Gerald Durrell.  Ralph also appeared on a series of BBC television programmes demonstrating his remarkable skills as a painter of animals. There is also a talk about Ralph Thompson on Friday 1st May by Wynn Reilly, Ralph's stepson. Wynn was instrumental in getting many of the artworks together, which are all privately owned, while Tess Marsh curated this unique exhibition.
