Sixty years of painting on the Thames.

For sixty years, members of the Wapping Group have met to paint by the River Thames 'en plein air'. Outdoors and undaunted in all weathers, come rain or shine, they have set up their easels from the broad tideways of the estuary to the willow-fringed backwaters up-river - taking in the whole of riverside London in between. With 200 illustrations, the story of the Group since 1946, a meditation on the pleasures and pains of painting outdoors, and personal accounts by all the current members, this book captures the essence of the Wapping Group, "the last proper artists' society left in England".
