I have a friend who lives in a remote coastal village in Scotland. It's like this there. When I visit there's a little pub that I like to call in. Locals are friendly, they paint artwork on pebbles and display them along the coastal walks. 😊

I've just been looking at Alexander Millar's work. I'm familiar with his 'Gadgie' scenes but now I see Monet-esque landscapes. The Gadgies are still there, but the viewpoint zoomed out to include his surroundings.

This one is called 'King of the Castle'. I like it! 😊👍

Am I alone in liking Victorian Coaching Art? 🤔

This one's by John Charles Maggs (1819 - 1896)
Can't quite put my finger on why I like them so much but I do. See that poor fella there asking for spare change, wouldn't see that these days would you? 😉

Norman Cornish painted the pit road many times. When asked why the lamps have a star like effect he explained that when rain gets in the eyes while walking lamps do look that way. 👍 Authentic experience begets authentic art!

'The long climb home'.
I don't have any details on this one but it looks to be a watercolour by Stuart Hirst. 🤔

'Last Fag' by David Noble.

I stood before this painting for 20 minutes scrutinising every brush stroke. The glint of metal equipment, the discarded cigarettes, the faces and poses of the men, all are masterfully portrayed here. Photo's of the painting don't do it justice. 👍

Landscape alluding to religious motif - where did it all start? 🤔 With Caspar David Friedrich's misty enigma's perhaps?

Trevor Grimshaw used Telegraph poles as if Crucifixes on Calvary Hill. Theodore Major usually combined dramatic lighting with a redemptive narrative. 🤔

Well, it's Friday! 😃
Soon comes round dunnit? I'm not tellin' what I'm having for tea.... It's a secret. 🙄

October 1st, It was the best of days... it was the worst of days. Well... No actually I tell a lie, it was just the worst of days. 🙄 Think I need a pint! 🤔

Nice painting by Lucy Manfredi tho'. 👍

Firth's Mills, Bailiff Bridge 1974 by Geoffrey W. Birks (1929–1993)
