Lovely Robin, they're great fun to paint, aren't they? Do you use enamels?

Yes very much so as they don't dry as quick as acrylics.

Yes, completely agree. I love the way you can get the mortar to go into the crevices via capillary action so easily!

 

So, who is Josiah Auld related to? Is he some long-forgotten Scottish cousin of Henry Finching-Harbottle?

You will have to ask Townstreet but I do know their [Aulds]  pasties and sausages are top notch !

Now you're talking my kind of language!

What a nice scene Robin! I've often wanted to try the Townscenes range but the lack of a web presence puts me off as I like to see colour photos of what's available. So it's very useful to see something like this.

 

Quite apart from that I really like the way you've staged the cameo - nothing dramatic (which is also how I personally prefer it) but clearly there's a subtle little story here :-) George is especially realistic, I think. I have the top half of Mary used on a composite figure (very weird thing to say!).

Very atmospheric. But I wonder, should I add a Rhino?

Most definitely not.

 

Mikkel.Have you got a copy of their catalogue as quite a few of their products are shewn in it.

Hi Rob, no recent catalogue. I had one when they first began but nothing with photos.

 

On the subject of hoofed animals: Is that a charging bull coming down the pavement in the background of the first shot, or is this a very strong whisky I'm drinking?

No it's the whiskey.It's the painter [monty's],yet to be named who will feature soon I'm sure.
