I'd never heard of Tom Chough - interesting name; there's a naturalist on the Isle of Wight trying to re-introduce the red-billed chough, as a matter of possible interest: and really, complete irrelevance!   Yes, it's clear he painted to sell - these are all rather pleasing domestic subjects, leaning heavily towards the rural idyll.  I think their time may be coming again - as a reaction against the cold, mechanistic, material age in which we seem to be living.  I don't have a problem with the sheep painting, perhaps because I've painted sheep and got very confused by the anatomy of their front legs, which bend where you wouldn't expect them to: because they've evolved to better carry the greater weight modern farming requires, I'm told.  I've no idea if that's true - anyway:  the painting is much more sharply defined than most of the others: is that the painting, or the screen resolution, I wonder?   As for a favourite out of all of those - the last but one.  I recognize the place, but can't put a name to it.

Not sure is Mr Clough would be chuffed to be renamed Chough, Robert.....but the last but one looked familiar to me too..  A little bit of research showed it is Runswick Bay, up in North Yorkshire, an idyllic place I visited often as a child/youth.

One of us - and I think it's me - needs new glasses....  If I were  going to be compared to a bird, I'd be quite happy if it was a chough; but perhaps Mr Clough would  take a different view...  Let's just pretend I didn't fall for that confusion, shall we?  Pretend it never happened; you know, hush it up... Mind you, I could have sworn it read "Chough" in the first place.... Silly old fool........... PS - What makes this worse is that I HAD heard of Tom Clough - didn't really know his work, though.  Thanks Tony for identifying Runswick  Bay.
