This painting of Ramsden Square is by local artist Ron Moon. It is part of a series of paintings, including 'Askam-in-Furness' by Bill Bell, 'Triptych' by Christine Isherwood, 'Dalton Castle and 'The Cavendish'' by Jamie West and 'Barrow Town Hall' by Graham Twyford, commissioned by Barrow Borough Council to commemorate the centenary of the Town Hall in 1987. Ron Moon preferred to paint in oils and was particularly inspired by still life and landscapes. He worked as a local government finance officer (for Barrow Council and also Dalton Urban District Council before the 1974 reorganisation) and would paint in the evening. This work probably took about a week working from photographs and a drawing. He has exhibited with the Barrow and also Ulverston Society of Artists and the Lakes Artists Society.
