• James McIntosh Patrick’s style has been compared to Breughel because of his bold colours and attention to detail.
• Springtime in Eskdale, is a detailed landscape painting of The Crooks in Eskdalemuir, Dumfriesshire which was the birthplace of the famous civil engineer and architect Thomas Telford.
• This painting by Patrick was completed in 1934 and was to mark the centenary of Telford’s death.
• In the middle ground we can see people visiting a cottage whilst further back we can just make out a farmer ploughing his land.
• Further back we see a small river at the foot of a line of hills, which rise into the background.
• The artist’s view of the scene is from a somewhat elevated position looking down at the farmland.
