"Once I painted a big watercolour of five girls ski-ing on the practice slopes of Flims in the Engadine. One girl posed for all five.
Long years after, when my one-time model had become a distinguished physician's wife, her lawyer-brother saw the picture in the house.
He peered closely at it, placed a forefinger over one of the figures, turned to his sister and said rather accusingly, 'That's you'.
'Yes', she replied, 'that's me. They're all me'.
'Don't be a fool', said the big lawyer-brother, how could they be?'
In his later years, due to his artistic and financial success, Russell Flint was able to travel extensively across Europe, particularly in France
where he was a prolific painter, also enjoying some time painting in Switzerland, Spain, Italy, and Scotland.
Cornwater Fine Art has specialized in the paintings and prints of Sir William Russell Flint for over thirty years, and have on display over
500 edition prints, signed and unsigned; Also original watercolour paintings and red chalk drawings, for sale.
The limited edition prints, particularly the signed, limited edition prints (ie. pre 1969) were very sought after, and the entire edition could
be sold out within several hours of release.
There is no 'second' edition of these prints, these are the original signed, limited editions that have over the years become highly collectable and
sought after works of art, some of which are over seventy years old.
