Three Pale Deer
C Barlow Marrs SGFA
Graphite on paper
Artwork 25 x 50 cm
I am pleased to announce Three Pale Deer has been selected to show at Mall Galleries London in the 105th annual open exhibition by the Society of Graphic Fine Art - The Drawing Society (SGFA).
This is my first drawing of 2026, and the third in my series Pale Grey Castle, in which I reinvent familiar scenes in my home town of Windsor and the wider setting of Windsor Great Park.
​The deer in this drawing have turned up in my artwork from time to time over the past 15 years. In this scene they are translucent, as if, having come and gone, they left an impression that appeared by degrees as I passed a pencil over the page. Behind them a chevron-patterned wall dissolves into far off hills, and what appears at first to be a moat recedes and narrows to become a level path, or perhaps a shallow stream. ​

All artworks in the exhibition are for sale, and will be published on the Mall Galleries website during the show.

The Copper Horse, Windsor Great Park
C Barlow Marrs SGFA
Pastel, charcoal and pencil on paper
Artwork 33.5 x 24 cm
My drawing The Copper Horse, Windsor Great Park was on show in the 2025 annual open exhibition of the Society of Graphic Fine Art - The Drawing Society (SGFA). The Copper Horse is the second drawing in my Pale Grey Castle series. In this series I set well known local landmarks in new imagined landscapes.
​
The Copper Horse is the popular name for the monumental statue of King George III in Windsor Great Park. The statue is situated on a hill at the end of the Long Walk, a tree-lined avenue two and a half miles long that begins at Windsor Castle, continues through a deer park, and ends at the foot of the bronze figure. Seen from the castle gates, the statue is a tiny silhouette against the sky. Close up, the king and his mount tower on their stone plinth some fifty feet above ground level.
