This sunny and joyous landscape was painted during the darkest days of the Second World War. It shows a view of Tywi Valley farm, probably near Grongar Hill. Paul Fripp was born in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire on 18 March 1890. His father, Edgar Innes Fripp, was a Unitarian Minister and a well known Shakespearian scholar and occasional lecturer on Italian and British Art. His mother, Edith Caroline Morley, was the daughter of the journalist and literary critic Professor Henry Morley. Fripp commenced his art training at Bristol School of Art and continued at Leicester when his family moved. In 1909 he won the Bennett Scholarship and a free studentship at the Royal College of Art in London, where he was taught in all departments. After three years in Bath, Fripp took the appointment of Principal of Carmarthen School of Art.
