This work really is in the great tradition of Lowry and the nearest thing most of us will get to own anything original that remotely resembles the northern magic of one of Britan's greatest artists.

Downie (the artist) is fast becoming one of the most collectable artists on the internet. Born in Manchester in 1949, he went to school in south Manchester. He was always interested in art and spent many hours in the town galleries studying the old masters. It was his best subject at school and he just loved painting. He keeps trying to perfect his art as best he can.

Left the building industry in 1989 to paint full time, he painted for the tourist industry for 22 years but now justs paints what he likes to paint.

Sized 16 x 12 inches or 30 x 40. Stretched canvas. Signed.
