My Favourite Artist.

His paintings are not technically good but the content and almost photographic images of London life at his time is incredible...Hogarths House is in Chiswick London and i will be visiting it in the New Year....my favourite of his is Beer Lane closely followed by Bedlam....not sure if ther on this link but you can see them if you google....a very under rated painter in my view and cant wait to see ware he lived...regards to you all..

My favourite is Lowry.

 

[leefer]

He cheats Julie..only paints lines!.....hes good and catches the atmosphere of Manchesters industrial pass...like the way his simple drawings show the gloom of the working person.

 

[juliejtp]

His pictures are gloomy, but I like the simplicity of his work.

Rolf Harris any time. Stubbs and Monet, but to be fair I prefer paintings to artists.

Rolf Harris had an exhibition a few years one of his paintings was a copy of Lowrys and it was much cheaper.

I've always loved his down to earth passion, I also enjoyed the times he was on TV, and painting with an emulsion brush and a bucket of paint.

Hi All
I love Lowry ! I have an original ! Called the Cripples. To be truthful it is an exact copy of the original, which I had done by a pavement artist many years ago. She was brilliant at copying anything on to a pavement, so having seen the original I asked if she could copy the Cripples. Originally I was going to place it in the old Orthopaedic Waiting area, but some of my committee members objected !!! So I kept it .

I also like Marine paintings of all sorts. I also like a chap called Michael Morgan, and the late Lionel Agett who lived near here. I also collect old maps and prints of wherever I am researching.

Lee, at the Great Hall, on the stairs to be precise.are William Hogarth paintings at Bart's. It is possible to view them by appt.

I seem to be drawn to artists who were Architects in a former life.

Not seen this before....thanks for the tip Maddie...i also like Swindons Ken White who does Murals and paintings...mainly the past Railway stuff.........done a painting called Hooty which depicts the GWR Hooter that belched out three times early morn to warn all the workers that they were late for the long day of drudgery ahead......will check those ones out at Barts.

Hi All

Hope you wont mind me jumping on this thread but do any of you know anything about the Artist J Walton Burnett as we inherited a painting (watercolour) of his entitled Lunt Village, I was told by my late mum in law that the artist was staying at a relatives house in Lunt in the early part of last centuary when he painted it.

Hi Julie

Thankyou I've had a look at that and it looks very promising, maybe this picture is by Jane as it is only signed J walton Burnett, I think I may have to go to an expert to find out more.

The picture shows a red brick house with a view down a country road,

Hi Gwen,

If you click on the picture in the link, it enlarges. Then you can check the 'style' and compare it to the one you have.

Hi Steve

I have done that and it is very similar but the style could be copied from one to the other, will take it to an expert to find out if it is by James or Jane.

Thankyou all for your help.

Monet and Cezanne for me, I love the impressionists. Van Gogh's Starry Night is the most beautiful painting I've ever seen in my life.
