oil on canvas, 1000mm x 800mm…At Bekesbourne around fifteen miles from my home can be found these “Dragons Teeth”. They were made to encircle a Royal Flying Corps airfield during WW1. Basically, they are concrete pyramids weighing several tons each. The idea was they would prevent any invader from using motorised mobility to access the airfield. When the airfield became redundant they were placed in a convenient corner of a field and forgotten.

Dymchurch by Trevor Summerfield

oil on canvas, 22 x 20 inches
includes frame. The old sea wall at Dymchuch. Paul Nash painted several works while living in the area so you can see what he saw in 1923 when he painted ” The Shore”. The view has now been destroyed by a new sea wall and giant blocks of granite to keep out the sea.
