Artist's Description

I started this painting many years ago and never finished it. I’ve been working on it recently and here it is; hence the date 2008 on it.

My wife and I and our children spent a happy afternoon at Stoke Bruerne and even went on one of the barges. We passed the famous barge used in the English children’s TV series Rosie and Jim, which sort of dates this painting.

this is a fine. homey painting reminds us of another england, before all the great changes, but time never stands sill, if your still, your dead! you make some very relaxing art to look at, it shows your own nature dave,

I had to smile .. I suffer from chronic anxiety, but I do have my moments of relaxation when I haven’t too much to worry about. Our son is home from his four month adventure in Australia, so my stress levels have gone down a little.

Hi Walt … this is a part of England that hasn’t changed too much actually. There are pockets in England where time has stood still to some extent and the beauty still remains.

Nice one Dave, it somehow reminds of a LOWERY yes! no!
BLYTHART over 9 years ago

I like Lowry a lot, so your shed will not be blown up tonight :)) Seriously though, I even went to Salford to see his work, but this is nothing to do with Lowry; probably just not painted very well.
