Lovely paintings tex. Do you paint as a hobby or are you an artist?
Thanks Danniella, nice of you to say so ....when i took early retirement three years ago i quickly realised i needed a hobby, i always enjoyed drawing and so painting was a natural progression. It's good for the mind and it relaxes me

You're welcome. ☺
My mums friend is an artist, she paints pictures and then uses them on greetings cards, that's her profession.
Your pictures are just as good as hers.

L S Lowry.....Bit of a marmite artist who lived in Salford, his paintings now sell for big money but alas like many great artists he died before he saw any of it. He was famous for painting Manchesters industrial landscape and of course his matchstalk men. Many would say his art was childlike and in a way it was but he always maintained that the way he painted was how he saw things. Art is of course subjective and we all see different things in paintings that others might not. I have copied a few of Lowrys paintings just for fun.
I have avoided doing any of his more intricate industrial work as they are just too involved and would take forever to re-create
