I wrote to this Tom Bower but despite being in Birmingham in the 80's it is not his painting which is why I restarted my search via this threadPossibly this man?

It was my late friend and colleague the late George Busby from Solihull, we were both members of the BWS, George was also a member of the RBSA, sadly he died some years ago of cancer at about 70 years old, his paintings were in great demand, he also illustrated calendars and books, particularly railway books, have attached an example of a Welshpool scene. I have a number of his prints. EricView attachment 138279
Dennis with pleasure but George was a vastly better painter than I. He was an elected member of other societies including the Society of Railway Painters. He taught me a lot about watercolour techniques a most difficult medium to master (I used to be an Oil painter). He was certainly the best watercolourist in the BWS. One of my paintings once was taken for a George Busby at an exhibition, that made my day. Eric

Thanks Eric. There has been a lot of admiration for your painting of Jamaica Row in the rain. Can folk buy prints and if so where? I promised I’d ask!
Dennis, there was a print run on that painting (I presume you mean 'Wet Sunday in the Bull Ring') but that was over 20 years ago, certainly none available now, but I am quite happy for any body to download it for the copyright still remains with me, the original framed painting was bought by an American from Denver.
