      • Taking Water from the troughs

        Posted at 1:51 pm by gatf, on May 29, 2020

         Just finished a ‘digital oil painting’, using the Procreate app (no connection except as satisfied user) of a locomotive.

         This is a London and North Western Railway Webb Compound, one of the  “Dreadnought” 2-2-2-0´s, built between 1884-8 and scrapped 1903-05, No. 2063 “Huskisson”, a tribute by the LNWR to the politician killed by Stephenson’s Rocket at the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. He had the sad distinction of being the first recorded railway fatality. 

        The locomotive is replenishing its water supply from water troughs between the rails.

      • St Chad’s, Pattingham

        St Chad’s church, Pattingham, near Wolverhampton. Painted in digital pencil and watercolour while staying indoors on a very wild and woolly afternoon. I used to stay in Pattingham sometimes, with my Aunt and Uncle, on trips back to the UK.

      • Architectural Capriccio

        Posted at 3:32 pm by gatf, on May 21, 2020

        What happens when Paul gets carried away!


        This started of as a quick architectural sketch from imagination – two weeks later it’s finished, so anything but quick. Lots of detail and I had great fun, but I’m not sure what others will make of it. I think there’s inspiration from St Pancras Station, St Georges College and a Jacobean manor house on an Antiques Roadshow found its way in here, along with who knows what else?

        Drawn from imagination, digital ink and watercolour sketch. Would be a nice place to sit out the pandemic in, I think…
