Sorry the 'Burra' is a complete fail. It's full of anachronisms for an artist who died in the mid 70s and is much too crude to be by him. Hockney's Mr and Mrs Ossie Clark is a particular bete noir for me. That arm just doesn't belong to the body. Always reminds me of an actor showing off by turning his back to the audience and failing to be audible. The carpet is a dreadful piece of painting, no sense of texture, colour or light, just a designer's trick. His RA show last year was great but it's one of his worst paintings that keeps turning up. And Kyffin Williams was a real by the square yard painter (or perhaps by the ounce given the impasto). You'll think I'm just trying to be provocative but I did enjoy a lot of the stuff on the page. Nice to see some less expected things like the Joan Eardley and the unusual Carel Weight, an artist usually more associated with the more overtly fantastic.

This is an absolutely remarkable collection. Are you a professional researcher? this is incredible! This is like the pre production work of 5 different great movies. What a wonderfully curated webpage. It's everything good about the internet for a change! Well done, thank you for taking the time. My mind is blown

    You make me blush :) I've simply been interested in paintings since i was a teen, when i used to collect postcards of paintings (those days were so different for access to art than now!). Thanks for the kind words, anyway.

Great collection of paintings! I've seen a few of these at the National Gallery in London. Nice to see Sir Henry Raeburn included, as he is possibly an ancestor of mine :)

    The Raeburn painting is very popular. Are you planning to dig further into your Raeburn ancestry? I discovered quite a few paintings while doing this list, quite fun really.

    Yeah, I'd like to find out more about it at some point. Maybe I could find some clues online. From what I've heard from my mum it seems likely that he was connected to my family.
