I'm very excited

[nelly]

Back in Feburary this year SK and I went up to Cambridge and invited ourselves around UrbanX's for salmon and cucumber sandwiches and a couple of splores

Well Mr X was good enough to show us some really great sites and amongst them was and old wooded copse with some really neat but sadly decomposing classic cars in it

So I posted a report on it and got the skunk eye from Mr Krela, but he's a really lovely bloke and he forgave me.

Well, anyway, a couple of weeks later I got a PM from a bloke called David Poxon, he said he was a water colour artist, and he wanted to do some paintings from my photos, so after I initially ignored him he contacted me again and I realized that he was infact a serious painter.

So I sent my shiz to him and he is in the process of painting a series of four 18" x 26" watercolours.

Anyway, he's done 3 already and they are posted below, David Poxon is an elected member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours (R.I.) and his website is here http://www.davidpoxon.co.uk/gallery.htm

Bloody hell Nelly,when you said you were getting excited I thought it meant you'd been called up for the Great Britain Olympic Urbex team,you know the hundred yard dash whilst being chased by an Alsatian,hurdling the Heras fence,looking like you belong somewhere you have no right to be and so on.So the pictures came as a nice surprise,they are rather splendid,the chap seems to have a good eye,and a deft touch with a paintbrush,well done mate.

they are fantastic and were the sarnies cut into triangles served on a silver platter? i do apologise for ones curiosity but one must ask about these matters

I do hope you get some good reproductions of the paintings - they are your images after all. Feeling chuffed is no substitute for something hanging on the wall! Funny how in this digital age, the wheel has gone full circle, with more people taking up and improving on the old Victorian hobby of tinting black and white photographs. How our Victorian forebears would have loved 'Photoshop' - they could have removed unwanted fore and background objects also, making vast improvements to many of their renditions.
