    Wonderful paintings! Spencelayh was perhaps the last remaining of the 'Victorian' painters, in that he continued working well into the 20thC.

    Who could imagine such meticulous technique coming from such a ramshackle studio!

    I like his work and he and Grimshaw must have been very prolific as I think they feature in every auction catalogue I have.

    The watchmaker is a beautiful piece. It is nice to see people take pride in their work and have it captured on canvas.

    Hi Enzie,

    I agree. I thought you would comment on his studio. I hope all studios are not like that - what confusion!
