Is this one of Valette's works in Manchester Art Gallery? It certainly has a feel of his work. I personally much prefer his work to that of his famous pupil, L S Lowry.

You've done a really good job Derek. You got that watery smog effect just right. Much more like Valette than mine. I didn't get the glaze effect. Artizan!

About the Artist

Derek Snowdon

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
