Stalybridge Days

This painting has been sold



Oil on hardboard 12" x 32".

This was a commissioned painting for a buyer in Texas. It was interesting to do. I think it's the biggest Stalybridge painting in oils that I have done so far and I really enjoyed it. Not easy to see on the blog though owing to its long, narrow shape. Clicking on it gives you a better view.

Morning on an empty street



Oil on hardboard 8" x 8"

This is Market Street, one of the main streets in Stalybridge. I have had to simplify the buildings quite a lot but anyone who lives here may be able to recognise at least some of them. There is the white house on the hills at the back, sitting all alone. I sometimes walked up there with the dog - a bit of a trek!

Mini market

This painting has been sold



Oil on hardboard 8" x 8"

I have painted this shop before. I was really interested in the angles of the buildings and the two street lamps and that shop window to the upper left above the mini-market with its yellow hoarding.

The empty house



Oil on hardboard 8" x 8" Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing this painting

This is old, terraced housing, which, since I took this pic has been taken over by a small industrial unit, I think to do with cars. There is a sort of workshop to the left. I like the contrasts of sharpness and softness the sun makes.
