Artist

R Alston

R Alston is an Arts and Crafts movement artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

R Alston painted quiet English scenes and everyday objects with watercolour in the mid-20th century. They captured the low brick walls and poplar trees of Coneycroft Farm, Compton in 1943, and earlier set a lustre teapot and bowl against a pale wash in 1925. Surrounded by muted greens and warm browns, their work feels close to home. Tap Coneycroft Farm, Compton to step inside that quiet corner of southern England.
