New paintings......

My step-father is an amateur watercolour artist and he brought me over a couple more paintings when he was here.  I chose a couple and got them framed.  The first one is a typical British post box:

The second was is a lake scene one of his specialities:
Picture 2018
I have had these other two of his for a few years now, I really like this one:

Another one of his water scenes:

They also bought me an original watercolour by an artist whose last name is Barton. He is dead now and his daughter was selling off some of his works. He is a British artist but I forget what else they told me about him, other than he did some work for York Cathedral, I think it was York.

Sorry about the quality of the photos, but it's hard to take photos of pictures when they are under glass.

Now I can't for the life of me remember which gallery this was in but I thought it was interesting: I did not know that it takes plastic...
