London-based artist collects duck prints by the 1940s/50s kitsch landscape artist, Vernon Ward. Why?... erm... This is a project about kitsch ideals, escapism and bad art. It's about passion and obsession. Grand ideas of utopia in the mundane, domesticated world. Or something like that.

Hi, I work for Lifeline which is a community based charity that provides a 24/7 telephone counselling service worldwide. We fund this service by selling donated goods through our shops. We have been given a Vernon Ward painting titled "Rythum in the pool" which is of 2 flamingos dancing in a pool. It looks like an original and I'm wondering if someone can give me some guidence as to it's value for us to sell to raise more money. Look forward to hearing from you.
i have a vernon ward print of swans called "harmony of spring"
at least i think its a print as my eyesight isnt great and cant tell because of the glass in front of it.
my wife hates it, any takers!

Hi there , I'm trying to find an image of night patrol its for a research project
"as the background to Vernon Ward’s well-known bird picture ‘Night Patrol’ shows Sky Type S in all its possible variations"
couldn't find a pic of it on the web and wondered if you came upon it in your project?
Hi there. I have a print of 'night patrol'. It's on a wooden tray insert. One of 4 wooden prints that fit into one one large wooden tray.
