The 'Shambles', Manchester. by Stephen Slater

Yes this way of working is for you Stephen never go back but we can revisit. Beautiful work

Too harsh on yourself young man.

This is wonderful, Stephen, great light effect on the right side, and beautiful colours too.

great style, bit different from your work now. You have found your niche Stephen.

Like this very much Stephen, a lovely painting

There's some great marks in this - more please.

Many thanks everyone for your encouraging words. They have moved the old inn several timed over the years as Manchester has been transformed, there is a medieval bridge nearby which I think they are going to uncover again soon. Most of the ancient roads have been covered over but are still there.I took the photo for this from some steps behind Marks and Spencers, the area was refurbished after the IRA bomb destroyed quite a bit of the city centre. More peaceful times now thankfully.

Love this one Stephen I think it's one of your best and its a lovely painting, well done mate.

Many thanks once again Dennis.

I love this Stephen. I do not think you are getting worse at all. Your pictures have a special charm for me.

Many thanks Shirley for your kind comment.

Lovely work Stephen. Beautiful.

Many thanks Jennifer.
