This is a typical sunny Mediterranean scene by the artist, John Bowen. His work was influenced by some of the twentieth century's greatest artists such as Pablo Picasso and Marc Chagall. Bowen was one of five brothers, raised and educated in Llanelli. He gained a scholarship to Llanelli School of Art and was later appointed art master at Llanelli Boys Grammar School where he stayed until retirement in 1979. Following retirement, Bowen became a full-time painter. Llanelli was a constant inspiration to him, as he strived to capture the spirit of the place and the people who lived there. Visits to the south of France and Spain also inspired him to paint.
