Even their throwaway sketches were brilliant!<br /><br />Christina - Please do go (not that you have a lot of time to spare) but it is beautiful and marks the first exhibition that forms the new Special Relationship between Kelvingrove and the RA.

However, art is meant to inspire. You shouldn't think 'what's the point' you should think 'if I keep going I might be that good'(who's to say you aren't already?)<br /><br />James Paterson's work is one of the reasons I started to love reason art, and attempt to make my own. My papa's family were from Moniaive, and so I grew up looking at his pictures. The thing that's rare about his work is that what he created is so true to the place, and it's nature and atmosphere, and yet entirely in a style all of his own - We'd call it photorealism now, but it still has a touch of softness to it, it's wonderful.<br /><br />I shall stop rambling now.Lisa-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135752484387782593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776380217462070463.post-34199413869656986312010-09-13T18:52:39.480+01:002010-09-13T18:52:39.480+01:00Dear Ali, it sounds like a fabulous day out.

There was something about them on TV years ago, but honestly can't say I'm familiar with their work.<br /><br />Legend, you need to get your dad interviewed about that and blogged!<br /><br />There is a book available about them. Would your dad be up for autographing a book if I sent it down to him to sign, do you think?<br /><br />Ali xAlison Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565962059926865121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776380217462070463.post-48803223408846410682010-09-13T18:06:07.140+01:002010-09-13T18:06:07.140+01:00My favorite of the group is Edward Atkinson Hornel...My favorite of the group is Edward Atkinson Hornel. His "Blue Flax" is just exquisite. Have you ever heard of the Ashington "Pitman Painters"? They have been rediscovered after a new play about thier lives has been showing to critical acclaim. My Dad is the last one alive, and I still remember visting the hut with him when I was wee. My memories are all in sepia, probably because they all wore brown and smoked like chimneys. He instilled a love of art in me that I cherish.
