(1) Tyburn Rd win1ter 1951 or 52, I consider this the best tram painting I have ever done, everything went right. It sold 10 minutes after the Exhibition opened (2) Gravelly Hill (3) Went on a Nile Cruise May 2006, done a number of paintings from digital photos I took when I got back home. Far to hot to paint out there,if I go again it will be Feb or March, this is of a temple on the banks of the Nile near Aswan.

more paintings from my album (1) Gas St Basin 1980's before "improvements" a favourite subject of mine (2) this was inspired by an old black and white picture in Aston, I would say Lozells, Victoria or Witton Rd pre 1953 because of the tram

Thank you all for your kind remarks, was going to put a couple of dozen on but found you can only put 5 to a page, so I have just compiled 2 pages. Any way there are more on my profile page Album, I will occassionly add to them. Eric
 
Eric,

Please add to them, when you can. They will give pleasure to many on the forum. You have so much talent.

Eric, your paintings are fantastic. I did enjoy seeing them very much, and would love to see more. You have a great talent.

They are brilliant paintings, i once had a christmas card sent to me, it was a copy of a painting of a red tram in Salford, it was christmas time and christmas lights were twinkling on the wet street at dusk, it made me quite nostalgic for Brum as it used to be. Jackie.
 
silver fox Yes they are water colours, I was given tuition in Oils many years ago but it was not the medium for me, to slow, I love the transparancy and freshness of watercolour, I also do pen and ink and pen and wash, I like to complete a painting in one session, I could not do that with Oils
 
Eric, I enjoyed looking at your paintings which I think are quite 'atmospheric' especially the Bull Ring and St Martins in the rain and Clearing the Snow. Please put more of your work on when you can. Anthea:)

I have paid good money for the odd warercolour far inferior to your paintings. Personaly I find yours very relaxing to look at. Very Good.
 
as always Eric a delight to see I like the New york one it could almost be a scene from anywhere but ? detail is superb:)
 
Thank you all for appreciative comments re my watercolous, I have now put 50 plus paintings in an Album on my profile page if you would care to visit. Thaank you once again. Eric
 
your paintings are fantastic. funnily enough the one i picked out as my favourite (although it was extremely hard to choose) was the gas st. basin one which you have kept for yourself. i feel i could just walk along that towpath. beautiful. :)

the bewdley fishing one is so amazing for how you painted the water.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
Eric, You, certainly know how to let the paint and water flow, They are super...Cat
