'Venice.' (1854) Peter Skovgaard began picture making with a watercolour sketch (such as this), then light oil studies before finishing on canvas; a laborious and disheartening process, but he knew his patrons never bought anything other than the finished work.

John Nash painted many landscapes around Dorset in the interwar years. He rarely attempted to paint directly from nature, preferring to work in the constant light of his studio from the sketches and watercolours made on the spot. 'Walled Garden, Bredy,' was painted in 1923.

Mountain landscape in oils: outline of receding ridge lines, with waterlogged, grassy hills and cascading water. A more detailed depiction of rocks, vegetation and water in the foreground, reducing to just outlines beyond, and a simple sky in just 2 colours (buff and light grey-blue). Palette limited and dominated by ochre, raw umber and more of the grey-blue used for the sky.

Though this oil on canvas painting by Dame Laura Knight does not indicate it, Joan Rhodes was actually a British stuntwoman, wrestler and strongwoman. Here, she looks more like a glamourous actress shown in profile from her left with her long blonde hair clipped back showing her beauty accented by a thick gold earring. 

The portrait was shown at the 1955 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition which led to some movie roles for Rhodes.

Joan was born into poverty in London, she and her siblings were deserted by their parents. Following unhappy spells in the workhouse and with an aunt, she left home at 14. After sleeping rough in Brewer Street, Soho, she joined a travelling fair, where she got the idea for her act after seeing a professional strong man at work.

She began as a variety and cabaret performer during the 1950s and '60s. Her popularity increased due to her early appearances on television shows in the US and UK, including The Toast Of The Town (1955) and the Bob Hope Christmas Show. It was in the latter that, on stage in Iceland on 27 December 1955, that Rhodes lifted, then accidentally dropped, Hope, while entertaining troops for the USO.

Rhodes could bend iron bars across her knee, in her mouth and around her arm or neck. She ripped telephone directories. She lifted large men over her head or into her arms. She frequently ended her act by lifting four male audience members at the same time.

Other parts of her stage routine included allowing men to try to bend iron bars before she would, arm-wrestling two men at once (one with each hand as each man was allowed to use two arms), lifting jeeps and small cars and pushing them offstage while men sat in them, or defeating a team of four men in tugs of war.

Her autobiography, Coming on Strong, was published in 2007.
