For those that went for a look, a popular painting was City of Leeds, a watercolour and gouache painting which was the most expensive painting in the show. It also sold.
I kind of agree with you provided that we exclude the real star of the show. 'Wheels in a roundhouse' just got to me, so evocative and just as I remember my visits to sheds in the early 1960s. Chris has done a painting from the heart and deserves to be recognised as a superb railway artist.... I thought the quality was higher than in previous years. City of Leeds was my favourite...
The Hymek didn't sell Richard, just in case you want Nick Harling's contact details.......
I do wish you hadn't told me......
