We bought the original of this for very much less than is being asked for these abominations. I know where I'd rather spend my money. (The artist for the "Sickle" painting is the lovely Penny Taylor-Beardow - it wasn't a commission - she just happened to have picked our particular boat to paint out of the 30,000 plus available to her!). Jan commissioned Penny to paint a picture of Helvetia for my 70th birthday, for less tha those in the opening post. Penny was on the stand next to the Ron Hough memorail display at last years Braunston Historic Rally which we were staffing. Jan spent a lot of time chatting with her, and liked her Impressionist style. It now occupies prime position in our living room - Not a very good image, as there was not much light, and you can see my reflection in the glass!!.

Graham and Jo Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Ok, I'll be brave, this is one I painted of Jo on Dotterel in Claydon locks (I think). It is A3 ish. Perspective is interesting as the boat has a different vanishing point to the lock (nose up hill a bit) and the vanishing point for the brickwork in the lock side is 4 feet off to the left. The hardest bit was painting Jo! She seems to like it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there may be a little artistic licence in the reflections, the rest is accurate, done by my better half. (Though I put the numbers on the canvas for her! Jim ducks and runs for cover).

The of course there is the copyright implications as the forum seems to be using images for which I am sure no permission has been given. Being married to a photographer I know she would be furious if they were her images. I also know that I will almost certainly be out on a limb as I seem to have a greater care about these things than many. Indeed you are out on a limb again. There are no copyright implications as I have stolen nothing, I have taken a picture of a publicly displayed piece of colouring and posted it on here for discussion, amusement and topicality. I agree with your comments about people stealing another photographers work for their own benefit, it has happened to me once. However this is completely different as it is a painting . How many pictures of the Mona Lisa, both unadulterated and also manipulated are there in the world. Millions. No one is affecting copyright unless they forge a new one and try to pass it off as the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local youth set fire to the top floor of this one about a year back. It will deteriorate quicker now with no roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what Jo looks like but I think you made a good job of the boat but you have cheated by having the hardest bits covered by the lock I think. And no I couldn't do as well.

And no I couldn't do as well. The curvy bits at the front are always the hardest I think. You can't construct them with a pencil and ruler. I was trying to learn to paint so I could do model railway back scenes when I did this one. It took forever - a triumph of tiny brush stokes. I had a play with pastels one day, I was trying for cubism but it didn't quite work out. Can anyone guess where this is? Cheers Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are on to something here. If it was the first in a series of three entitled 'The Prelude' to be followed by 'The Incident' and 'The Aftermath' they might be worth shelling out twenty quid for.

I should pay more attention. I completely missed that bit when I moored there overnight three weeks ago on my way down the GU and had a walk around. Even worse that I still didn't see it when I stopped there again for lunch on the way back. Who'd have thought?
