    Lovely work Vicky. Guess this is in Staffs??? I visited there many years ago. The terrain reminds me of Lowry. You’ve made the pollution pretty…I guess those smoke ghosts can look beautiful too.

    Yes, this is in Staffs, although of no particular location as I worked from several old photos.
    Glad you like it and thankyou for favouriting!

    It did take a while to paint! I always say… I’ll paint something smaller and less detailed next time and then end up painting something just as complicated.

    this is brilliant – grim but beautiful – the mind-boggling layers of terrace houses and smoke create almost surreal and dreamlike scene.
