Seago’s best known subject is arguably that of his birthplace, East Anglia. Housebound for much of his childhood due to illness, Seago learned to embrace the rural views that surrounded him from a young age, developing a passion for nature which lasted the rest of his life. After returning from the frontlines of Italy in 1945, Seago began painting primarily Norfolk and Suffolk vistas, concentrating, as Constable had, on the places he knew best. Fields, hamlets, windmills and waterways were captured across all seasons with a richness and romantic quality of light and colour.
