We're not 100% sure of the subject of this painting. It has been sold as Worcester Cathedral but we know this cannot
be the case. There is some writing on the back that is not in Bingley's own hand and is not totally legible but it looks something
like Winchester Cathedral. I'm not sure this is the case either. Its a very nice painting and it has the date on the painting
itself which is 1913. It measures 190mmx315mm.

"Sailing, Sailing, Over the Waters Blue" Painted for Ross Bingley by H H Bingley RMS & SM 1967 We
were absolutely thrilled to have contact from two of H H Bingley's relatives! This painting was painted for Ross
Bingley, one of Henry's great nephews. The painting resides in Canada and is the latest we are currently aware of having
been completed just five years before H H Bingley died. We know that RMS stands for Royal Miniaturist Society and SM stands
for Society of Miniaturists. The RMS, Founded in 1896, was the first society to devote itself purely to miniature painting.

"The Arch and Chapel Rock and Stepping Stones - 1946"
This painting was purchased in Cornwall in 1984. The starting point of its collection it has a very special place in
its owner's heart. It has good detail in the foreground and the cliff face. It measures 490mmx185mm. It is in its original
frame and mount. Note the elaborate mount which Bingley was very fond of and which he made himself. Made up of a collection
of key lines, some of which are shaded, it is one of my favourite additions.

T'he Arch and Chapel Rock "Incoming Tide" Perranporth 1947'
This painting was bought as part of a pair. The other painting is listed below. Both paintings were in their original
state but had to be reframed due to damage. Bingley had framed them in his traditional way of using black tape to tape the
glass to the backboard rather than using a moulding. There is a good example of this kind of framing at Perranporth Museum.

"The Sand Hills Showing Penhale Point Perranporth 1947"
Paired with the painting above, this is quite a rare focus for Bingley. It shows great detail of the sand dunes which
we haven't come across before. It shows the early stages of the Marram Grass which is now far more abundant in modern day
Perranporth!

"The Lyn Valley, Lynmouth 1937"
Lynmouth is a village in Devon, England, on the north edge of Exmoor. The village straddles the confluence of the West
Lyn and East Lyn rivers, in a gorge 700 feet (210m) below Lynton, to which it is connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff
Railway. Lynmouth was described by Thomas Gainsborough, who honeymooned there with his bride Margaret Burr, as "the most
delightful place for a landscape painter this country can boast". The painting measures 150mmx240mm.
The painting has the printed signature which I think, due to it being painted in 1937, would have been one of the first
years of usage.

"A Cool Green Glade, Lyn Valley, N Devon" H H Bingley, A.B.W.S, 1937
This is another painting of the Lyn Valley, obviously from the same trip as that of the painting above.

"Lake Side Solitude" 1967
It also has "No1" which leads me to believe it is part of a study set.
|
|
|
"On the River Dart, Devonshire"
It took a long time to decipher the almost illegible script on the back of this painting. Eventually we worked out the
title and along with it the subject. This is a painting of Dartmouth Castle. It is also painted on rather awful wartime chip
paper or sugar paper. This leads me to believe it was painted in the 40s. However, it adds a certain je ne sais quoi!

"The Sunlit Sea" Atlantic Breakers on the Cornish Coast, West of England. - 1968
An Oil Painting by H H Bingley. RMS - SM
The board still has the original label on the back. It is painted on Daler Board for Oils. Handmade at Wareham. It has
a list of all the stock sizes and denotes that this is 14x18 fine grain. Unfortunately it is quite badly damaged and will
have to go through restoration.
|
|
|
This is another wonderful example of what I believe to be washed oils. It is incredibly bright and is currently under
non reflective glass for protection. Unfortunately it was framed before it came into the owners possession so the title of
the painting is currently unknown. It is probably a Cornish coastal scene.

"Bluebells in Chyverton Wood" Cornwall
Another lovely painting of a Bluebell Wood. A similar one is to be found on page one of the gallery.
Rather than Berkshire this time it is Tregavethan Woods near Truro, Cornwall. There is also an additional figure and a dog.
This is the only animal other than sheep and seagulls that I have come across.

"Off a Cornish Harbour"

Boats Leaving Harbour
We're not sure
of the official name of this painting, but it depicts a small fleet of fishing boats leaving harbour for a day's fishing.
Unfortunately there is quite a bit of foxing.

"The Garden
in Springtime" Woodbury Down Cottage, London 1936 This is a lovely painting, thanks to KSM for getting in touch. I'm not sure about the location of the cottage
or whether it still exists. Anyone who could give us further information, please get in touch. The painting measures 340mm
x 240mm.

We're not sure of the exact title of this painting,
but I would imagine it would be something along the lines of "From Green to Gold". The painting measures 250mm x
355mm. Thank you to KSM.

This is probably an older painting though I haven't seen the signature. It seems to be of the Cornish Coast and is quite
detailed. The painting measures 540mm x 240mm. Many thanks to JR.

"Incoming Tide" Perranporth - 1943
Another classic Bingley title. This example has plenty of pebble detail in the foreground. It was bought during
a delayed wartime honeymoon and has remained in the family. Many thanks to MPA for sending us this info.

"Wavelets, Soft Swishing to the Shore"
Perranporth Beach, Cornwall (Showing Penhale Point) - 1946
Paired with the painting above. Many thanks to PF

"The Path to the Sea" Swanage Bay,
Dorset - 1926
An early example of his work, this has his early signature. There is another picture of this scene
on page one entitled "Sheep Grazing on a Chalk Cliff" but the foliage is a different hue, perhaps
because it was painted in a different season. However, it could just be some artistic licence. You can see some sweet sheep
in the foreground and the chalk cliffs in the far distance. We would be interested to find any other paintings of this scene
to compare colours. Many thanks to SM for this picture. (420mmx220mm)

"Golden Sands" Perranporth - 1960
This is quite unusual in dimensions. It measures 275mm x 65mm. The framing is original with Bingley's signature
tape, glass and board. The colours are still very bright suggesting it has been kept out of the light. Many thanks to DH.
