Artist’s Statement
'Canal builders' is from a small series of monochromatic canvases that I completed that were inspired by photographs depicting the history of Manchester. The painting shows both the men and children in a staged shot as the building of the famous canal network around the North West of England is recorded. These canals would provide the area with the opportunity to provide the world with goods such as cotton, paper, soaps and a range of subsidiary goods.

Virtual Images - Where artworks are shown framed or within a room setting the images have been created using virtual/augmented reality software in some instances. The images are provided to give an idea of the scale of the artwork in the context of a room and the style of the framing. They should not be viewed as completely accurate e.g. the scale and the style/colours of the frame may vary slightly. 

An online gallery with an augmented reality option is very forward looking and very appealing to the buyer.

The picture arrived this afternoon, very well packed and in excellent condition. It is indeed a very fine picture.

The painting is received and is a really nice small study-like work...

Thank you very much for all your help.
