Goats in Norway

Beryl Newman was a pupil of the celebrated artist Hubert van Herkomer (1849-1914) and Roland Wheelwright, the Australian born painter and illustrator.
She loved to travel and visited many different countries with her father, following the death of her mother. Many drawings were inspired by these travels. Later she travelled extensively in her own right.
Known especially for her portrait work, she also produced illustrations in pen and ink. She moved to Lustleigh, Devon, from London. It was here she that she met and married the rector Rupert Newman. Like Beryl, her husband loved to travel and they visited Norway together. Her husband was the model for many of her drawings of fishermen and religious subjects.
