Such a good impression of industrialisation, you can almost hear the machinery. I saw your painting of the Bullring. I considered painting that view but was put off with intricacy of the modern buildings, which you you have painted with such skill.

Perhaps somewhat beautiful in its grubby industrial presence , these areas are where Great Britain was made to lead the world way back.It is my roots and the toil of the Midlands workers are soon forgotten by the wealthy south ,but it is those people that bought the prosperity to the nation to build upon.
