Buskin' in Bolton

‘Busking in Bolton’

A few years ago I was Exhibiting my Art, along with other Artists, In a Street Art Exhibition, when I managed to capture this moment on camera.

The violinist is my Son, who came along to offer me support in the form of Busking. As I turned around from my stall, I noticed he was starting to draw a small crowd of appreciative listeners. I quickly took a photograph, capturing The Moment!

This Watercolour is the result of that Scene.

‘ Hidden Harwood ‘

This would seem to be a rather strange subject to want to paint, a set of steps that seem to lead to nowhere. However, I found the aspect of the light and shadows very appealing. It was a painting which took no more than three hours to complete, as it just seemed to work straight away. The whole image just seems to draw you in, to wonder where it goes? At exhibitions, it certainly got the locals talking about where it was in Harwood. A surprising amount of people did actually know too!

With a beautiful autumn scene captured on camera, I decided to take a new approach. Instead of using my favoured mediums of oil paint or pastel, I dug out of the cupboard a set of coloured inks. Wow! I was really happy with the vibrant landscape creation.

Of the series of Oil paintings I did of Entwistle Reservoir in Lancashire, this has always been my favourite. When I have had exhibitions in Bolton there are always many people who come up to me and say, “I know exactly where that bend is, I’ve walked it many times!” Who would have thought a simple bend would be so distinctive?! Another reason this is my favourite, is how the light and shadows played out giving the whole picture quite a realistic feel.
