She did not give me time to post them on the RB before they were under glass.

wow this is stunning Colin…
I love your limited palette – the colours are just wonderful, amazing atmosphere. The white smoke looks fabulous – gorgeous painting. I love it.

this is wonderful!

Great colour choice resulting in plenty of nostalgic atmosphere, very well done….

I love looking at all the old photos when we browse the antique stores and some book shops also have postcards of them…so this is even better get to see a wonderful watercolour painting of one. This is painted perfectly Colin, atmospheric and can just smell the smokes and hear the noise..!

Beautiful colors, tones and art!!!

Excellent little painting, Colin, and I really like the feel of it. I’m right there. Perfect piece!

Well done Colin, excellent detail.

Fantastic drawing/painting Colin. Just the right amount of color. You are a super “renderer”......( if that is a word ). I always love viewing your work. There is a certain charm about it and your pieces each have a bit of history to tell.

fabulous,

A fine painting Colin… brilliant ….I love it

Great work on the sky….excellent details.

This is fabulous Colin. The sky looks all smokey and chokey, which I guess went with the colliery. Lovely job.

Wow…I feel like I have travelled back in time looking at this, a window to the past. A gem ~ Anni :)

Very atmospheric, and i love the detail and colours in this, beautifully painted…anna : )

Forgot to say i love the sky too !....anna : )

love this one!

It is nice paint, Colin. I like image of 1920’s, well done!

Your early work was very good, but your recent stuff is excellent. I love this.

As I said, your work was always good, but it is now way past “good”.

This is a good example of what you were saying about imbuing a photo with life by painting it .. well done.

I have an album of the Felling Male Voice choir and my grandfathers were both coal miners at one time (not at Felling though), so yes, this appeals to me … and yes, I know … that’s four comments :)

Love your watercolours

WoW1 awesome work, and great choice of subject!!

Great work Colin!

‘Skyscapes’ group you have rejected my fine watercolours, for the last time. Good riddance. Stay happy with your boring snapshots, instead of real art.

I grew up in a pit village, Pegswood, stuck between Ashington and Morpeth, my father was a miner and looking at this I feel I’m right back “yem” as a young lad where I’d sneak off from school to have a sly meal in the pitman’s canteen now and again. Excellent work.

Brilliant piece, reminds me of my childhood holidays to my grandparents in country Victoria.
