Balliol Boating Companions Friends Idyll Idyllic Punt Punting Relaxing Romance Romantic Serenading Gloaming Salmon
In the Gloaming
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and idyllic pre-war scene painted by Balliol Salmon in 1930, showcasing the tranquility and romance of a leisurely evening on the River Thames. The painting depicts a young man serenading his two female companions as they float gently along the waterway in a traditional punt. The sun is setting, casting a warm, golden glow over the scene, and the atmosphere is one of relaxation and enjoyment. The young man, dressed in casual attire, strums a small ukelele, his eyes fixed on one of the women as he plays a melodic tune. The two women, dressed in elegant summer dresses, lean back in the boat, their faces turned towards him, lost in the moment. The water around them is calm and still, reflecting the vibrant colors of the setting sun and the surrounding greenery. The title "In the Gloaming" refers to the time between dusk and darkness, and the painting captures the romantic and idyllic nature of this period. The scene is one of simple pleasures and friendship, with the three companions enjoying each other's company as they drift along the Thames. The absence of war and the stresses of modern life add to the sense of escapism and relaxation. Balliol Salmon's painting is a beautiful representation of a bygone era, a time when life was simpler and the focus was on enjoying the present moment. The scene is one of young, pre-war romance, and the painting remains a popular choice for those seeking a touch of nostalgia and relaxation.
