I like this kind of art capturing street scenes and industry Dixie and I like his style. I have chosen a few of his French scenes.

A curious artist.  His townscapes are slightly quirky - delightfully so - but his landscapes are much more representational.

As Tony says, quite a contrast in style between his landscapes and street scenes.  I prefer his paintings of the interesting urban scenes.   One of his landscapes in a colourful, more impressionistic style….

I knew nothing of David Brammeld before today - there's an awful lot of artists out there! I notice a quite soft edge to many of his paintings - this may be the reproduction: or it may be that he eschews hard edges, which tend to be favoured these days.  I prefer his landscapes to his urban scenes largely for that reason - the landscapes just look sharper, in detail, colour and form.  Even his monochrome drawing has a softness to it - too hard and defined, and you tend to produce paintings that resemble stage sets; too soft and it looks as though you're a bit myopic....  I need to take a much longer look at his paintings, but - I like them; which is more than half the battle.

Tony is right about the quirkiness of some of his work, and I think that he uses some exaggerated perspective with his slanting roofs etc. I like the effect.

I thought there would be some discussion around the different ways he paint his urban and landscapes , it was the urban paintings that first attracted me. I like them because they are different, I know that all artist paint landscapes different to each other but we have a lot of landscape artist and painting  whereas hid building are done in a very unique style I can see why they are very popular.

What a great choice, thanks Paul again am artist un,known to me ,and yes different styles for different subjects.  I notice  one of his street scenes is probably Stokeob Trent in the middle of Wedgewood country   Shtopshire is a rather lovely county.   Brill choice.

Some interesting and excellent selections. Some that stand out for me, the Gladstone Pottery Museum in the Potteries being one, I’ve painted it myself many times!

A few more , I particularly like his trees but given my love of tree that’s not surprising.
