Horatio Caine Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Interesting... But why did they get the narrowest bus in the fleet for the occasion? I suppose it's a good memento to have but in all honesty, it's not very well painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munch Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I Am surprised to see Stephen Hendry was staying in the flat above the Tynecastle Arms in 1998 and it looks like he is waving his cue out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar the Horrible Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I'm no Brian Sewell but that is truly awful. Painted by Frank Manclark aka "The LEITH artist" says it all really. None of us are Brian Sewells,(the guys a plum) all paintings are subject to interpretation, I don't like nor appreciate Picasso but others do so, because I don't get any passion coming across in his work, this however is what it is, it's a bit cartoony for my liking, but others do like this sort of thing, I am not a fan of Lowry either but he has captured something of the world he lives in, whereas I am not from the industrial heartland of englandshire. Its not as though it one of those award winning cartoons from Czechoslovakia, I mean good god, how bad were the ones that came runner up? The artist would have enjoyed painting it, and some might enjoy looking at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
