Lovely. Good luck with the exhibition.

Wonderfully precise work!

Excellent painting John . I will look out for it at the exhibition.

This is lovely John and beautifully painted. A little piece of village history to treasure. I’m sure it will do very well at the exhibition.

I really like the way these old phone boxes are re-purposed, good painting John

Super painting John

Excellent. I like the vignette style you have used and the granulation of the sky.

A happy memory painting. Lovely old phone box. A bit of info unless you already know. These phone boxes were designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott who also was the architect for Liverpool Anglican Cathedral. .

Thank you all for your comments about both the picture and the Bucks Art Weeks exhibition. Paul, I hope we can meet there during that fortnight! Sylvia, these things are design icons aren't they........that lovely curve on the roof .....I wonder if the designer of the modern ones will be remembered in 2100?
