Our Follower! Sophie Ploeg


As you can see our only follower is the artist Sophie Ploeg.

Interesting just last week we had a customer in Widnes who had seen one of Sophie's paintings in the gallery back in February. It had since been swapped the last time Sophie came to change her works over.

But we got back in touch, had the painting couriered up and the customer has just been in to pay the balance today.

Happy faces all round.

P.S. We would love some more followers, please feel free to join up!

Birthday Boy!


It was my dad's, Peter's birthday on Monday and without knowing it our customers have been giving him a very good birthday week, with quite a few good sales.

Keep up the good work and don't forget to wish him a Happy belated Birthday!

Love you Dad Xx

New Paintings!


Having been away for 10 days I got home to see my dad has got lots of new gorgeous paintings in. I am trying to photograph them and get them on the website as quickly as possible but as you can probably see some have come in and sold before I got chance to upload them. We have ordered some more Barry Hilton's but they are proving very popular!

Oscar the cat


If any of you have pets or are animal lovers you will undoubtedly know the worry when one goes missing, Our beloved Oscar went missing on the 23rd August.

We have (well to be fair) my parents and mostly my brother Ric have spent many hours putting up posters and searching the surrounding streets trying to find the dopiest, softest, cutest cat there is, when joy of joys Ric found him!! Life and work can continue as before.

We've recieved quite a few new pictures into the gallery this week, including 3 Braaq originals and a very rare Lowry lithograph, 'Winter in Broughton' - I am aiming to get them all online over the next week or so, so watch this space!

Busy Week


It's been a busy week here at the gallery, with lots of new stock, a big re-hang and not to mention the odd customer!

The website sales continue to grow with sales this week to the West Midlands, Herts and Germany.

Chris Chapman's 'Pond life' was in the gallery all of a day before it sold! Again to a couple visiting from Herts - there must be something in the water.

New Arthur Delaney originals in stock



Arthur Delaney was born in the All Saints district of Manchester in 1927 and died in 1987.

Lowry's work made him aware of the many special qualities of the north and soon he began producing street scenes and industrial landscapes. His paintings were not stylised but a true likeness to their location. He set out to capture the atmosphere of the 1930's and all of his paintings capture the nostalgia of the period.

Arthur Delaney's paintings are now more popular than ever and are being discovered by a new generation of collectors.
