Dewing is one of my favorite artists and I'm fortunate in having easy access to a fine early example of his work at my local university museum that's only three miles from my front door.
Dewing's drawing was indeed eccentric at times, but he more than made up for any "errors" by his fabulous handling, painterly technique, and the sheer beauty of his painting. Sometimes our personal built-in human failings actually enhance our work.
One can find many fine examples of his paintings on display in Washington D.C.
