Welcome to this weeks thread  of Inspiration From Artists the featuring artists this week are : Allanson Hick and Charles Rennie MacKintosh. I will open this evening with my introduction to Allanson Hick , on Wednesdays Jenny introduce her choice of artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Allanson Hick 1898 - 1975 was a British Architect and Painter in oil and watercolour. Born in Hull into a seafaring family,he attended the Grammar School and College of Art , from 1935 - 55 his work was accepted annually by the RA. He was a founder  member of the RSMA. Interestingly he was denied permission to join the war artists but was given permission to sketch and paint anywhere within the Humber Defences , hence a lot of WW11 marine paintings . We could have included him in last weeks thread as he painted and designed a lot of BR poster and grave posters . I hope you enjoy my selection of his work .

Yet another artist producing astonishing work.  I admire the work very much, in particular the third of Dixie's posts...the destroyer alongside a quay.  A pleasure to see such work.

Great selection Paul… I can see the architectural training in his buildings, but I particularly like the tug boats, a much looser style!

First and fourth ones are my pick of these. Love the loose style work.

Number 5 is exceptional in my view - such attention to detail, but still works as a painting.

The second one is exceptional Dixie, and the last but one would be a brain scrambler for me! All excellent.

Agree with Tessa about the second one.  Also like the travel poster.

Great stuff Paul… particularly love the Tall Ship drawing and the old Queen Elizabeth 11 (guessing because I can see two funnels) I’ve put that fabulous crane from the same painting in my folder, that will come in useful one day…

Another good choice, Dixie. I like the contrast between the second and third paintings of your first posting, the third being my favorite, but all are good work. I like the detail of the second and third paintings, again, of your second post, and all are excellent work.

The tall ship would be a difficult task to do Tessa even for someone who sketch’s boats regularly.   He does get some superb detail into his painting and lim you Alan if registered that crane for future reference. I did think the poster would appeal to you Jenny given your interest in them , certainly make you think about another week of looking at poster but made general travel posters next time .

Carol we were posting at the same time I think I’m pleased you found them interesting I think he has something to offer most people even if they don’t particularly like marine artwork.
