Durham Pitman at the bar with his whippet. by Michael Mcmanus

Excellent! I have a book on Cornish and love his work.

Thanks Tessa. My wife is off to Barnard Castle tomorrow to an exhibition of Cornish and Lowry at the Bowes Museum.

A great replica of Norman Cornish’s work.

Delightful!

Thanks Carole and Anne.

What a great composition. I’ll look up this one by Cornish. Not seen you for a while Michael.

Thanks Marjorie. Nice to be back. It’s an adaption of the one with two men and the dog at the bar.

Great style and a lovely composition.

Thanks Spencer.

Great painting Michael, definitely a Cornish influence, like his work a lot

He is rather great Tessa and fits our culture here.

Really good Michael 🙂

Superb

Norman would love this Michael, super painting.

Good to see you back Michael. Norman Cornish is one of those artists whose work gives me reasons aplenty to be interested in art. Fine work.

Thanks Heather, Stephen, Gudrun, Willie and Lewis.

Good one Michael and good to see you back.

I love this - it has real atmosphere.

So good Michael. The easy manner in which he is propping the bar up, relaxing, pondering over his pigeon loft.

Thanks Diane, Bobbie and Fiona. Indeed Fiona, his pidgeon loft.

What a superb interpretation, Michael. Love the composition and the glowing washes. Beautifully done.

Thanks Seok.
