Oil on canvas, 1936. This serene painting, created amidst the tumultuous interwar period, exudes tranquility. Here, peace reigns, allowing for leisurely pursuits. The boats, patiently moored, await their next adventure. Along the river’s edge, a beckoning path invites exploration. It is the height of summer, and nature bursts forth in vibrant hues.

In the distance, Cookham’s Holy Trinity Church emerges, a subtle reminder of the artist Spencer’s preoccupations. For him, the natural and the spiritual were inseparable, and perhaps this garden, adorned with roses and nasturtiums, hints at a paradisiacal realm. Yet, above all, sheer joy radiates from this scene—the joy of boats and punts gliding on the river, harmonizing with the lush garden. It captures a moment when time stands still, and the world brims with possibility.
