csmith, I am beginning to regret putting the building in the back ground now, even though it is there, I should imagine a couple of decades ago it was not there (it looks new and modern), unfortunately being a watercolour I cannot remove it, not a very forgiving medium, unlike oils or pastels. Eric

I think you done the right thing Eric. It's how it looks now and that's how it should be.
 
i agree with frothy eric.. and.its only a smiggin of the big peg we can see and to be quite honest i never took much notice of anyway...just as an aside my first job was in vyse st at jospeph staintons and in 1985 i thought i would go and visit the old place and see if any of the ladies i worked with were still there..found out that staintons had moved to the big peg by that year..
 
I am sorry, I was referring to the two photos taken in 2009, compared to the old photo with the houses, I was in no way referring to your lovely painting. Please accept my apologies if I have caused any upset. I am very sorry if I may have been misunderstood all I meant was that I just prefer older architecture than modern. I am very sorry, please forgive my lack of thought. You are extremely tallented and must portray things as you see actually them. I hope you understand what mean.
My best wishes, Chris
 
csmith604, Please, no apology required and certainly no offense taken, I entirely agree with you (see my post 9), sometimes I leave offending items out (artists licence) sometimes not but I too much prefer the earlier version with the houses. I have completed around 60 paintings for members (half of them pubs) and they are nearly all based on old pics of brum which I much prefer. Over the years I have completed over a 100 paintings of Birmingham and its canals and very few are in a modern setting. As a painter I welcome comments. My late Wife was my biggest critic and I sorely miss her comments. Eric

I've got 3 of them pubs ( The Norton, The Lad In The Lane and The Jeweller's Arms.) and very proud of them too.
 
I won this painting it is in my office at home and a friend of mine was admiring it only this week. A lovely picture and just as it was. Admittedly the building in the background was an eyesore but it was there when the picture was painted so what. Thanks Eric.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had any photos to share it would be lovely to see. I remember when my nan and Grandad (John and Irene Mousely) were publicans in the 80s and would love to see some old pics to bring back childhood memories spent there.

I thought it was still open so why is/was it on "lost pubs"? Perhaps it closed for a while.

As others have posted it has had several tenants / owners , and undergone refurbs none that thankfully have taken away the victorian glazed windows and architecture.
last time I was in the was Xmas 10 years ago , as I went to Marlows opposite to get a present.
