This blog address was on the back of this painting and i would appreciate it if you would return the painting . Also there was one more painting in the package which i would also like to be returned. I would also like to inform that the police are now involved !!!!!!!

Life Down the Mill is a fantasy painting, it does not exist .. well I don't think it does. Got the idea for this painting from a selection of photos then put parts of each photo down on my secret sketch pad which is where most of my paintings start life. The painting took shape slowly but after a  few minor changes from the sketch it soon got under way. Painted with the highest artists paints to leave a rich colour of high light fastness
14x10 canvas board.

This was painted in the studio from a selection of photos i had , first i did drawings from the photos then put them altogether on paper then painted on canvas board. I went for the old style look which i think turned out rather well.
Again, painted in acrylic paints on 10x14  canvas board.

                                                              Dreamland Cut

Enjoyed painting this and to be honest it started out completely different to how it is now , guess i just got carried away with myself ........which happens quite  lot...

Originally it was to be a scene from a section of the Monmouth  & Brecon   canal down in Wales where to the right side of the painting would have been a few low down bushes then looking over distant country side with roiling hills beyond the bridge , but ,   well there you go they don't always turn out the way we want..

Still a nice painting none the less and is now for sale at the Art gallery . The painting has been treated to four coats of acrylic high gloss varnish and is now ready to frame & hang..
