Just a thought. Members who own Eric's paintings could put them on here.

Great paintings of Erics. Very uplifting, just what we need right now. I've not seen all these before. Is the 2nd one in Froth's post #1 Aston Hall or somewhere else? Viv.
 
My goodness Eric what a fantastic painting, you have a gift alright. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Regards Stars also an Eric

Your paintings are fabulous cookie !! I particularly like the last one you have posted..thank you for sharing them with us :)
 
I like allthe paintings, but particularly Gas st basin, Jewellers Arms and Key hill
 
You paintings are very special Eric, they have a lovely feel about them! What's that saying? - I don't know much about art but I know what I like! We've very privileged to have you share with us, thank you xx
 
My favourite is Clearing the Snow in Aston. I can feel the scene. Love Eric's ability to paint reflection and water. Viv.
 
Found this thread in the General Discussion section, so I've moved it to the forum's 'Original Artwork' section.

This is my recently acquired 'Eric' - love it! Viv.

Glad they give so much pleasure, I certainly gained pleasure in painting them, I find painting so relaxing and rewarding. Have painted 99 paintings for members since joining the Forum in March 2009 and enjoyed painting every one, hope to paint many more. I have never been a 'tele' person . I love painting, walking my dog Toby, reading and my PC. There are 95 paintings on my watercolour gallery on 'image hosting' (copper mine) painted over a 40 year period. My personal 3 favourites are 'Wet Sunday in the Bullring', 'Clearing the Snow (Aston)'and 'Winter Tram Ride' all alas no longer with me. Eric

Can I suggest Eric that we set up a section in the Original Artwork list for your work? Think it will be nice to see your name listed there and would make your work more easily accessible to others. If that's ok ,maybe we could transfer the images from your Coppermine account. Have no idea how to do this though! Hopeful someone will help me please, Viv.
 
Eric your talent is outstanding what a pleasure to see your work. How I wish I had kept at it when young.
 
The paintings are beautiful but could I ask (as a relative newcomer to Birmingham) that the venues are identified. I can recognise some but not all.
Janice
 
Vivienne, am open to your suggestion. As for copper mine paintings they are all on 'my pics' file on my PC and I can (in stages) upload them from my PC , having said that most of the paintings (at least 90) are already on 'Original Art' thread but not under my name just individual titles. Eric

Janice, I usually title my paintings to give location and possible dates, will be more explicit in future, if there is any paintings in particular you wish to know location let me know and I will gladly tell you. Eric
 
Janice, suddenly realised you may be referring just to this thread, so here goes :- post #2 Lad in the Lane, Erdington, Barton Arms Aston and The Swan somewhere in Essex, post #9 The Norton, Erdington, post #10 Lad in the Lane Erdington, post #11 Key Hill cemetery Hockley, post #13 The Vine Summer Lane Saint Phillips cathedral, Colmore Row and Gas Street basin canal and finally post #18 Hall of Memory Broad Street. I should add some of these subjects sadly no longer exist. Eric
 
oldbrit, it's never to late, up until recently I used to do 'workshops' with one or two amateur societies consisting mostly of retired people/pensioners who had never picked up a pencil/brush all their lives (but always meant to). I was in my forties before I took it up seriously. Eric
