Well done! What a nice little water colour.

Have you been told a date for it? It looks relatively modern in style and the Blue Star of the Newcastle Breweries is a give away.....

Hi

Just to say that I went by the Beehive this afternoon. It looked very much like the photos and the painting. However, it didn't have the blue star  and the road was a wee bit more level ;D 

I think your painting might well have been an entry to a Newcastle Breweries competition or some such.

Style is a bit like John Coatsworth - the Bendy Artist. If it's one of his it will be worth a bit!

I like the watercolour. Is the real thing as wonky as that?

I don't think it's a very old painting.

Hi Mike

From a link I gave in my Reply#1 many moons ago! - Sunday 8 Sept

This is what it looked like today:

I would have taken a photo but the traffic was a bit heavy

 ;D

Thanks both
