Boycee. 9x12, oils on board.

This is Boycee, not brucy as I called him when I posted my Sketch of him. It is my Son`s Alsation, and he sent me a photo of him, and I couldn` resist painting this lovely dog. You can`t see his back paws because they were not in the photo, so I made out that they were buried in the snow.

Manasses/ Bull Run Bridge. 9x12, oils on board.

This was painted from a photograph that an American friend sent me. I didn`t want to copy the photo too much so I made it my own interptetation of the subject. Anybody that knows this bridge will know the history of it and will know why it has got this name. No, I`m not going to explain the history because there isn`t enough room here, and I don`t know it`s full history. But...

I had a feeling for this painting. And I think that it has come out with the feeling that I had for it, movement. I hope that you can see that these two chaps are in a race, and they haven`t got very far to go to win.

Steamer. 9x12", oils on board.

At last I was able to do some painting. There isn`t a lot to say about this one except that it is a train that was around about the 1930 to 1950. It is one like this that I caught my Thumb in the door as I was closing it. I was about ten years old at the time, and my Mum and I was on our way back to the Hopfields after visiting our Home after it was incinerated during the war. Don`t hold me to the dates. All I can remember is that of my age, roughly Ten years old. My Mum shouted to a porter that I have got my Thumb jammed in the Door, and when we got to the next station, another porter was waiting to open the door for me. I have still got the dent in my thumb.

All the way to the top. 12x17, Acrylic on board

this is a painting that I did a while ago. I have been so busy that I haven`t had the chance to do any painting, so I`ve fished this one out.

Pencil drawing of my left Hand. With all the gnarls as well.

Packhorse Bridge with Figure. 12x17, oils on board.

This is an update of my painting- Packhorse bridge 4. I have added a figure to it. Two of my followers made a suggestion, one said that it is fine without it, and the other said the same, but try adding a figure. I decided to see what it would look like with a figure. I can soon erase it if necessary.

This will probably be the last Packhorse Bridge painting. Actually it is the same bridge as bridge 3, but much more included,also it is at a different angle to 3. Now I would like to ask anybody that is interested, to tell me whether I should add Figures to it, or leave well alone. Please give me your opinion, thank you.

Packhorse Bridge 3, 9x12 Oils on board.

Another Packhorse Bridge, the third one I believe, I`ve lost count. This is probably the last one for the time being. This Bridge is situated again in Watendlath L/D. And it is where you can get some refreshments, you will need them. My Art club will be having an Exhibition in two weeks time and I will be exhibiting these paintings.

This is a beautiful spot. Further up the hill is a little shack that sells light refreshments and drinks. You need refreshments after walking all this way from the main road to the top. But we cheated, we had our Car. I shale be painting another packhorse bridge that is at the very top. There is several Buildings up there, so I shale be painting a couple of those as well. Obviously, we couldn`t drive over this bridge, they were only built for Packhorses. There is a dirt road that you can use.
