Who painted this picture?

I like the painting, my only criticism is the foreground car, it looks much to small, compare the size to the background figures also I find it distracting, I would have left it out, that's only my opinion of course. Eric

talking about that car eric...just noticed the red painted letters on the side of it...just wondering if its an unusual way of the artist signing it

I have heard of him and seen his work (that tram is typical) but know nothing about his background or where he hails from. He is not listed in my Artists hand book. Eric
 
Seeing that photo reminded me I had bought an oil painting (I think) about 20 years ago, painted by L. Price.
It's about 7 in x 5 in, Has anybody heard of L. Price?

rob i wonder if the tram no is made up or was it on the no 8 bus route...if so he could be a brummie artist..

I thought it was a lad on the bike but I now realise it is a woman by the figure and pony tail, she like the car is far to small and both feet together instead of one up and one down, I do not want to sound critical of an other wise good painting but as a painter myself I notice these things.

mw0njm, Yes everything else is in proportion, I cannot understand why he has made the car and cyclist so small. I still like the painting. Personally I would have left both the car and cyclist out of the painting as I finds it distracts from the main subject, the tram, which he has painted very well. Mind you I have made mistakes in the past but my late Wife (and critic) as spotted them and pointed them out. Easily done. Eric
