I knew that Charles Rennie Mackintosh was a Scottish architect and a designer in the Arts and Crafts movement and also the main exponent of Art Nouveau in the United Kingdom.
Until my Daughter Eileen gave me a calendar of his work this year I had no idea that he also painted watercolours.
Neither did I know that he spent several years living in Port Vendres, just down the road from us in France.

His paintings are very appealing, in the art noveau style but still realistic enough to be recognisable.

Below is his painting of the Little Bay in Port Vendres.
I look forward to seeing how much it has changed when we next go there.
