I am entirely new to the work of Shepherd and am relying on people like you (Wikipedia) for my information. Thanks so much for your work in that direction!Lesley-Anne McLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899105096816697616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333091580028808174.post-49709993081975816442010-07-23T12:31:58.665-07:002010-07-23T12:31:58.665-07:00Thanks Janet--I'm glad you enjoyed the blog.

Are you familiar with Victorian painter William Powell Frith? Some of his paintings are dense with people, and the stories to be built from them are myriad.Lesley-Anne McLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899105096816697616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333091580028808174.post-31001590767316097342010-07-23T11:36:04.773-07:002010-07-23T11:36:04.773-07:00Hi.

Google let me stumble here :) I am trying to track down the artist for a specific watercolour, thought to be by G Shepherd, of the Congreve Arms in Aldermaston. I see you have an image of this painting; are you able to confirm this is by G Shepherd?<br /><br />(ps I am helping to write the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Shepherd_%28artist%29" rel="nofollow">George Shepherd article</a> on wikipedia)Senrahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Shepherd_%28artist%29noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333091580028808174.post-81025461209817055332010-07-23T10:42:36.314-07:002010-07-23T10:42:36.314-07:00Fascinating, Lesley-Anne!

I always wonder at them - who they were, what their lives were like. Then, of course, there's the architecture to be admired. Yep, I could spend days in a gallery filled with old paintings (oops, never mind 'could', try 'have').<br /><br />Thanks for all the research you do for these posts - always enlightened when I come to visit :)Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297537075103893956noreply@blogger.com
