Fascinating story teller with great detail Keith. Your restrained colour palette adds nicely to portrayal of the era.

This is packed with interesting narratives and I am in awe as to how you have achieved the nostalgic atmosphere so successfully Keith. A tremendous painting, that carries so much social history in such a palatable way.
