About Me
- Name: Sheila Vaughan
- Location: United Kingdom
I live in Stalybridge, a small town in the north of England, not far from the city of Manchester but close to the Pennine hills. I have two blogs as part of the daily painters' movement - Stalybridge Paintings and Real Art at Real Prices. There are reciprocal links on both blogs. The price and size of each painting is listed with the work. Please email me if you are interested. I also work on a large scale and am happy to consider commissions. Thank you for visiting!

Could be Llandrindod ;-)
Hi Rene! yes, but maybe not the factory chimney? Maybe all coal mines there in the past? Or slate quarries - dunno.
Llandrindod is outside of the south and north wales coalfields , there are a few pit head towers around as monuments, there was talk of some mines being re opened when oil was v expensive.
That's interesting to know Simon. The old pit heads were actually very attractive places to an artist. My first sale at age 16 was a pen and ink drawing of the pit head in nearby Ashton - it was called the Snipe Pit. I always regret selling that drawing because of course it was demolished and they built a B&Q over it. Different culture, eh.
Here this is what i was thinking about ;-)

Ah Rene, why do you do these things - I think I'm gonna give up. Those houses... just scruffy, old, tall, forgotten .. so enigmatic. Your painting takes me on a journey. My painting says - stay where you are. Why.
very reminiscent of a recent trip to Kent for me. You are a real master of oil pastels.
Railways /trains have memories for most of us I suppose. It's one of life's eternal icons, the railway track. Nice to see you Olha and thanks for the compliment.
I love a Railroad painting.
Mary, so do I, but then I love rail roads (we call them railways). I love travelling by train and sometimes get to do to my daughter's in Belgium by train which takes ages as I live in the north of England and I need 3 different trains to get there - one of them going under the English Channel - great stuff.
This is very haunting... in an Dickensian sort of way... amazing!!
Thanks for your visit Maharajadhiraj. Love your tonalist pics also.
