George Shaw: I woz ere @ The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, Coventry: eye catching pink sky in Ten Shilling Wood; paintings remind me of Tom's Midnight Garden; ethereal trees line the tops of the paintings; at the moment in Coventry Shaw's trees are everywhere; can see into Shaw's childhood in every picture.
