I think the photos speak for themselves as to the quality of the artwork on this piece

 

Yep, really can't argue with that!

 

[Grace and Favour]

It does include a handle

[Maffi]

Tried reporting it but there is no listed 'This is a con' heading

[Bod]

Its an old grease bucket!

The add is correct, it does speak for its quality!

The flowers were obviously painted by Year 6 during a wet playtime. Art teacher must try harder.

[Doorman]

Any wonder the likes of Phil Speight are so popular in this field.

 

I doubt whether Stevie Wonder's new sideline will flourish if this is an example of his work.

Now I have to say that's an insult to any yr 6!!!

I think as a personal statement this is a fine example of someone's best shot. Infact you can clearly see the marks left by someone's keen eye and steady hand. To make a direct hit, to the bottom of a bucket, with a shot gun, takes a stroke of genius.

It`s a paintball target

I am suitably impressed - never before have I thought to use dandelion clocks instead of roses...

[Ally]

I am frankly gobsmacked! Thought my couple of efforts were distinctly average, but now I think they are fine art! Still, sure someone loves it.....granny maybe?

I think that good art needs to be looked at from a distance, not close up like this, doesn't it.

Perhaps 100m round a corner?

 

Whoever did this quite likely likes it and that is probably all that matters though.

Yes, exactly our year 7's come in doing in September. It takes a little while for them to understand that isn't quite what we are aiming at.

I would even go as far as at least 100m round two corners.

Have a look through this seller's other items.

 

You won't be disappointed...............

[madcat]

I like the tiger trivet and the pearlware swan,don't have the spare cash though. I do have a few odd items round the house ,under 50p or jumble sale leftovers mostly.

The bucket is I believe by Damien Hirst and will pop up on Antiques road show in a 100 years time causing much exitement on Mars.

[RLWP]

You know all them very small holes in the bottom? The item is in Blackburn, Lancashire

Fill with water stand underneath.

Oh, dear!

I'm hard put to understand why such floral work is given a link to canal art, though I'll concede that painters a century ago used a wider range of flowers than the roses and daisies that we usually see today. There's a notion abroad in some quarters that anything goes where canal painting goes. There is plenty of evidence for this in museums and canal side shops, sadly. It's true that many of the painters from working days weren't trained artists but their work shows fluency and dash which I find delightful.

 

As many know, as well as my personal collection I'm also looking after most of Phil's. Most of the painter's from the latter days of trading are represented . There is also the notorious Black Museum, consisting of souvenir items of variable awfulness, all of which have been offered for sale. Forum members are welcome to visit and view. I seldom tire of talking about painting, though some of the work I encounter makes me prostrate with dismal!!!!

 

Cheers
