THE MARGARET LOXTON COLLECTION
The paintings are inspired by a journey made by Margaret Loxton through the Cote d'Or in Burgundy, a wine lovers heaven. Traveling on her bicycle, she was able to observe the timeless ritual in which men, women and children harvest the grapes on sunlit hillsides. Her brilliantly coloured and strong compositions have captured the movement and gossipy camaraderie of the harvesters as they work their way labouriously along the immaculate rows of vines. Margaret Loxton's paintings show a deep affection and respect for the people of Burgundy and their lives of hard work, good humour devoted care for the vine - lives to which the vines return seem to lend meaning, tranquility and contentment.
