There are a number of very talented artists on the UK waterways, painting, drawing, sketching scenes of the rivers and canals. Sadly, I'm not one of them, but one of them is a Facebook friend of mine, Lisa Greatrix. I got a message from her yesterday, attached to which was a photo of her latest painting. It's her interpretation of one of my many photos on this blog.
She displays her work on her website The Easel Life and on a Facebook page
As with many boating artists, not all of her paintings are of water scenes.
My problem with Lisa's work, as with several other artists I've seen, is that I have nowhere I can hang paintings on board Kantara!
I encourage you to go and see all of Lisa's pictures on the web, and, while you're there, visit a FB group she's created, called Narrowboats Canals Advice Chat and Sales, which might be of interested to a good number of my readers. Press the button there to join the group.
Enjoy!
How lovely! A talented artist indeed!
