Bloodyell SOLD!! Fred you you were a bit slow on the bidding. I'm gutted

I heard that on the news.

How do you know that it wasn't me that bought it?


Oh, Lolly,...one day it will be yours.

That man was never a good artist,you should see the paintings that Moreen has done,now theres a lady who missed her way.x

I like his work owddave. I have a few of his paintings. Not originals but I wish they were. I think I've seen one or two of Maureen's  master pieces. Sue's dog and an Indian chief.  I agree she is a very talented lady

Thank you very much Dave and Lolly,I'm very flattered but...I'm afraid I'll never be in that category,I'm not after praise.Im just being realistic...again thank you.

FRED!!!!FRED!!!!!! I'm counting on you FRED

Thats from 2017 And they are going to the match

Its the same Mill in Pendlebury that's in the match painting he lived across the road from it

So thy are going past the mill in Pendlebury to go to the match .  I've just checked and my"coming home from the mill" has the same mill in the background

I tried, but I didn’t get an opportunity to whip it.

The presenter, Diana Ali, discusses Lowry shortly into the episode.

I'll be so disappointed  if you don't win the lottery.

My bid didn't quite secure the painting,

Yes, I saw this on the BBC news Lolly and thought of you.
Blimey, £6.3 million it sold for.
I doubt if Lowry could ever have imagined the value of his paintings.
I do like his work, he established a style and stuck with it, also he didn’t paint his locations accurately, he just made them a passable representation of what they were.
The famous one mentioned on here of Bolton Wanderers Stadium called ‘Going to the Match’, is not a perfect image of the ground but I love it.

I am so pleased that my bid was accepted. Now, I just have to find a wall on which to hang it......................
