Pub entertainment

I like a painting to create a story.
These chaps are enjoying a pint in the local pub. They are being entertained by a performance.
I wonder by what!!!

Love it, Trevor! It really gets a viewer involved. I think they are enjoying some live music...one of the instruments is a fiddle.

Hi Trevor- what a lovely warm painting this is, very expressive too. We had a pub like this once with a snug area- I'm sure I recognize those faces!! It had live music too where everyone used to join in. It has now been completely revamped, but this picture really has bought back some fun memories. Thank you!

I love your work Trevor! You're are a visual historian of sorts. You capture more emotion and ambiance than any photo can.

Michelle said...

Trevor, Your wonderful brushwork makes the scene come alive! Great work!

Trevor Lingard said...

Hello Sheila.
You are again so good with words which I envy. I wanted to give you the award on the above posting, but you have had it sent to you before I believe.
Lovely to hear from you.

Hi Morgaine

Those were happy days when pubs were pubs. A bit different now I think. Dont You?

Fantastic!!! As a lover of portraiture, I enjoy seeing some of your figures closer-up than usual.

Galya said...

Hi, Trevor, I really got ivolved in your aquarelle stories.
Regards

Trevor Lingard said...

Hello Galina
Thank you for visiting. I look forward to our continuing communications.
Please forgive me ..but I am not familiar re aquarelle stories!!!!!
Kind Regards

Galya said...

Hello,
I meant that your paintigs sound wonderful and real at the same time, which according to me is very difficult to achieve. The auarelle technique is a very hard one and you make it really very expressive.
Best regards

Trevor Lingard said...

Hello Galina
Please forgive me for my ignorance.
I am very greatful that you have commented and your explanation which I now understand.
Kindest Regards

Galya said...

Hello Trevor,
Probably my English is too scholastic. I studied it from Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin:) Anyway, thank you for visiting my blog, and your encouraging too.
Best regards

Trevor Lingard said...

Pink Floyd and Led Zep.
Your a lady after my own heart.
I`m mad , Ive always been mad!!
Regards

Alan Pedder said...

Really like this one Trevor. Are they intrigued by you on your saxaphone perhaps ?

Trevor Lingard said...

Hey Alan
Good to hear from you my friend.
I think they would be throwing their beer at me if it were. More likely to be a pretty young lady singer, by the smile on the old chaps face.
