Love this Tony. It’s a super painting with a lovely story.

Agreed. Your watercolours are superb Tony and have a very emotional content. Well done.

Lovely painting and great story, really admire your storytelling through art

This is great, Tony, I do like your write - up. There are some artists who pay people in this situation to take a photograph of them, for use in the studio, and explain the painting will be placed in a public domain. I think this is a good idea as it benefits both parties. Carry on the good work.

You have great skill Tony, not only as a watercolourist but as a story teller too, this is brilliant as is the rest of your gallery.

A difficult and poignant scene well portrayed, Tony. Lovely delicate washes.

So so good, you have a lovely style.

Superb painting and love the story!

I love your style and you capture some interesting moments. Fantastically well drawn....

Well painted and a lovely composition. Buskers always make a good subject.

So good, you have a great eye for for a scene to paint, and then paint it beautifully.

I can only agree with the above comments Tony, skilfully done.

Oh my.. i feel so flattered, i thank each of you so much, to take the time to type your lovely words to me is just the best feeling... if i could hug you all i would 😊 My heartfelt thanks Sylvia, Tessa, Heather, Cj, Ann, Russell, Linda, Thalia, Dorothea, Margaret, Fred, Paul and Fiona.

Beautifully done, Tony, and a familiar scene sometimes seen in our local shopping centre. (Makes me smile when I occasionally see people leaving them tins of dog food!)

Super work - like your style

Whilst on a day out at a popular tourist town i saw this young lad sat playing his music for money with his best friend there snoozing away, it was quite a cold day and i think i passed him at least twice whilst shopping until i realised six hours had passed, it dawned on me how much dedication this chap had to earn some money for food as he was still there so i headed back to him, listened for a while to his playing, praised him and gave him some money. It felt good and also to capture the moment on paper.
