Beautiful soft colours Colin . . . you have even made a coal mine look appealing!
Colin Cartwright replied

Thanks a lot, Ruth.

That was the beauty and inspiration of the unknown master, Thomas Hair. To convey beauty, even in the appalling conditions of 1830’s, heavy industry.

Hello my friend. I see you’re still at it. Good for you. You do amazing work. My wife loves the countryside behind your personal photo.
Colin Cartwright

Thank you very much, Don.

Tell Lynne, that’s Northumberland national park, the most sparsely populated, spiritual, historical and unvisited part of England.

I sit amidst the stones of a 3000 year old hillfort, in the bio photo.

I love the earthy tones in your paintings, but this one especially stands out. There are so many things going on …....makes one want to just sit and study it for awhile.
