Looking Back........

We were having a bit of a 'sort out' in the attic earlier this week & I came across these old paintings & thought I'd share them!!!!!

'The Blacksmith' was painted in Oil in the 1980's & was awarded the best Oil painting in the ‘British Coal’ open painting competition. The prize was a handsome cheque of £90, quite a sum in those days!!

‘Kolhapur On Shed’ (Oil) Was painted during my passion for everything Steam. These days steam locomotives as a painting subject have been replaced by my love of painting boats & coastal scenery.

'Locomotion’ (Acrylic) Another steam painting, this time a detailed look at the running gear of a steam locomotive.

I was thinking that I might include them in my forthcoming 'One Man' Exhibition at the Pannett Art Gallery, 12th September to 1st October 2009.
