My father, John Henderson, who has died aged 79, was an artist whose paintings concentrated on scenes familiar in the landscape of Cornwall, where he lived. Haystacks, tyres, cows in a field, the innumerable greens of hedgerows and their contrasting flowers, as well as quayside ropes and static caravans, all became subjects of years of close work.
He exhibited widely in the 1970s and 80s with solo exhibitions at DM gallery in London and the Newlyn Orion gallery in Cornwall. His work was included in group shows at Espace, Amsterdam; Kunsthal, Rotterdam; OK Harris, New York; and the Whitechapel Gallery, London.
