Darlington Banktop by Alan Lidster

This is excellent and beautifully painted Alan .

Super picture

Great painting Alan.

The light is very effective, and it's impressive how you have captured it's softness, shown by both the direct light and also the shadows.

Thank you very much Paul, I plucked up the courage to enter a themed railway exhibition, strangely I found the loco quick and enjoyable but struggled with the architecture

Thank you very much Julie really appreciated

Thank you Stephen very much appreciated

Thank you very much for your comments Gerry, yes tried to get away from the hard lines of the architecture, I was very tempted to strengthen the shadows but would have then lost the misty effect

Very good, hope the exhibition went well

Thank you very much Heather, apologies if I’ve written the wrong dates it’s not until the 5th June, starting to feel a little apprehensive as there are some very accomplished railway artists but nothing ventured.....

Nicely atmospheric Alan and with a delicate touch. It still shows the power of a steam train. You should be very pleased.

Thank you Val I’m pleased that it gives that impression, managed to hide all the complicated bits with steam
