Christopher Miers is a landscape painter who works direct from the subject, in oils or tempera. Many of his paintings are the result of travels abroad and are completed on the spot. Now and then, however, he develops these on a larger scale in his studio in Fulham. In this country he spends many happy hours painting in the local allotments and on the banks of the River Thames nearby; and he keeps a small canal boat, converted as a floating studio, in Oxfordshire. |

| "I saw your little painting at the Royal Academy and was impressed by its rare intimacy and refined sensibility. One of the best things in what is always the best room" The late Victor Pasmore CH CBE RA (1986)"
One feels in these relatively small canvases the sensation of the place and the excitement of immediate response in front of the subject. It is the love of the subject, which speaks from these paintings, that makes them such a pleasure to live with".Ken Howard RA (1996) |
