  4. Hi Janice.
    That`s a coincidence, you being an ex USPS worker eh? Glad you like it. Janice, you need to put your Blog address on where your email is. When I click to go to your picture, It comes up but not your Blog. I had that problem at first, but my Son fixed it for me. Also one has to sign up to facebook to be able to send you a message. All the best Janice.

  6. Bless you for painting this! This takes me back to being in school in England, school uniforms, long walks to school and back... and fish and chips!

  11. Hi Vic,

    I love getting glimpses into your world. These images are to be treasured, things always seem to be replaced in our fast paced world. Love the charm, as Joan said, and the beautiful reds! Best to you Vic.

  13. Hi Vic!.... A nice change of pace... and complementary colours... green to red! HAHA!!

    An unusual subject.... not unlike the post boxes in Scotland.... to go along with the Fish n' chips in Anstruther... and the telephone boothes that I called home from!

    Brought back memories and touched a chord with "Me"! A gem!

    Good Painting!
    Warmest regards,
    Bruce

    PS Love your control of red to maintian and create volume! Not easy with that colour!

  14. Hi Bruce.
    Thank you very much for your great comment. I was very pleased to know that you say that I have controlled the colour to create volume, well, usualy i`m not too controlled with my colours, so Thank you for that, and all the best Bruce.
    Vic.
