No problem Paul, did you see my request to add Elizabeth Blackadder to the list?

Now Alan’s choice I do like: didn’t see that when I was looking. What a difference!

Looks like this artist isn’t hitting the spot! I like some of his work, but we’re probably comparing him to Sir KW which is the reason! I rather liked these two paintings.
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Comparisons, as someone once remarked, are odious..... no good comparing Prendergast with Kyffin Williams: Sir Kyffin was unique - I can well understand Sylvia's disappointment when she went to a Prendergast exhibition having expected to see the Williams influence: it just isn't there, and one has to look at Prendergast in his own right. Which I've done, and I'm afraid I'm still not yet sold on his work - but it does tell a story of landscape change; my problem with it is that although I know Wales can be dark, wet, dismal, and fog-shrouded, it isn't ALWAYS - and the Prendergast paintings shown here are for the most part darker than they might be, possibly reflecting his mood at the process of change.   I'd need to see more, and I shall go in search of him.

Seek and ye shall find… there’s some interesting and expressive stuff amongst his work!

I do like the top one of the two Alan almost as if it was painted by a different artist. Sorry I’m confused by your second post re toggle ? . It seem you have deleted it.

I also really like the first of the two paintings Alan has posted above.  As Paul has said, it looks as if it’s been painted by a different artist.  The style is so different that I did a reverse image search on it and it was actually painted by another Welsh born artist Wilf Roberts who has done some really lovely work (and worth adding to your list, Paul).    It can be quite confusing when looking at an artist’s work through Google search, images of one artist’s work often get mixed with another.

Good detective work Jenny! It was so different in style I should have twigged on…

I’ve come across this guy, Peter Brook, rather interesting style of landscapes/buildings etc and life in the Pennines. No longer with us, he also produced many lithographs as well as paintings. I’ll introduce him Paul if you could add him to the list.
