Landscape, Sunset

He was born in Islington, the son of the well-known landscape painter Henry John Boddington, and he learned to paint from his father. Boddington exhibited at the Royal Academy (11 works), the British Institution (25 works), and Suffolk Street (45 works).[1] He painted mainly views on the Thames River that are illuminated either by sunset or moonlight. Most of his river scenes are painted in very dark greens and browns, and many resemble some of the earlier works of his father.[2] In the early 1860s, he lived with his wife Helena, also an artist, in Merrow, Surrey.

He is thought to have died about 1905, possibly in Australia where his sons Percy Reginald Boddington (1866-1936) and Henry Frederick Boddington (1870-1940) had emigrated.[3] Examples of his work hang in the Glasgow Museum, Rotherham Museum, Reading Town Hall and the Ealing Central Library.[4]

gollark: You probably want to revert that when the program *exits*.
gollark: > Which is exactly what they wanted here!Not necessarily, this actually does sound like a case where they might want each task to run in its own coroutines (or would, if their pathfinding did yields).
gollark: I mean, it's great for very simple situations where you want to run two things at once in the simplest case, but often projects want to run a listener "thread" and temporarily spawn tasks to handle them or something and this ends up being constantly reinvented.
gollark: > Thanks for that gollark :/.You're welcome! It would be useful if there was an API for this! Perhaps I could simplify some of my stuff and make a PR!
gollark: Parallel isn't great because you can't add an extra task after it starts.
