FLY2 10,108 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Margie, I just love harbour scenes, I find them so relaxing. Here in Lymington where I am at the moment, there are two galleries adjacent to each other, and some of the harbour paintings are wonderful. Oh for more spending money ! I also love the rustic Yorkshire Dales / Cotswolds scenes as done by the late artist, Alan Ingham. I had two framed prints of his twenty odd years ago, but one vanished when I was burgled, and my ex has kept the other one. I managed to replace one from a little gallery in Castleton a few years ago, but some on eBay are currently demanding silly money. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw a couple recently at Budby antiques at what I considered a reasonable price. I've seen a few in there from time to time. Might be worth a trip, they have a good teashop! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,138 Posted July 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Not posted on here since March. These are going to be my next projects, courtesy of my sister in law, when we came up for the meet-up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,138 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Here's one I've just finished. Thought somebody might like to take a look. 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,138 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 The picture is my interpretation of the seven sisters, cuckemere, Sussex. PS. Thanks for the reactions Ben, Phil and Kath, kindest regards, Barrie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,599 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 I've only just opened this thread, but I liked it, too, BK When we were working at a hotel in Eastbourne, some years ago, Paul walked up and down the length of the Seven Sisters with a group of fit people, while I stayed to talk to the elderly ladies at the hotel. I wasn't elderly then btw! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,138 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 The best place to view the sisters is to climb Seaford head and walk over to where the old coastguard cottages are, ( as in painting). I would think this view has been photographed thousands of times as well as being the subject of paintings and postcards etc. Glad you like it. Gonna tackle a bath tub next. Watch this space. Take care Margie, hope you are both well. Regards, Barrie.x 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,138 Posted July 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Continuing my feeble attempts. It's gonna be the bathtub next. .Not overly looking forward to that.

Gem 1,430 Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Unless I have black lines to colour in I am a rubbish artist, like to see the pictures of your barge wear Beekay. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,138 Posted August 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Can email you some pix Gem. It's narrow boat art, as opposed to barge ware. Don't know if you've seen a TV programme called " 5 Celebrities go Bargeing, with 5 has beens farting about on narrow boats. Barges are what you carry coal etc in. Got a brilliant book called " Let's paint roses and castles ". Got my original inspiration from that. Beekay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gem 1,430 Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Beekay, thank you for offering to send your pictures I have sent you my email. I have some small pieces of brass one of which I have tried to paint 'disaster' but will keep trying. Gem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,895 Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Re the photo of " is it Beekay" ? now we really know its him painting objects and not some that are already done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,138 Posted August 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Nonna, waddya mean "is it really Beekay. "? Course it's me. That bloody bath tub is a nightmare! Lots of straight lines and I'm not so steady as I was. But that's the great thing about narrow boat art, no two pieces are the same. It's all done freehand so no rulers etc., used. Might come to the point where I can only paint jelly ! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
