Acrylics on acrylics paper. 18 x 14 inches. A bit of a departure for me - both in style and in content. Based on a little sketch I did a couple of years ago. I think every hostelry in the world has one of these fellas - no matter what day or time, he's always in there, propping up the bar. The barman is very loosely based on the landlord of my own local pub. Be interested to know what you folks think about this one as I'm not really sure what to make of it myself!

I love this, such wonderful work with acrylics. I think the expression on the guys face who is about to drink the Guinness is a masterpiece

Artist Reply: Thanks a million, John..........I'm glad you like this one. Its not my usual subject or style but after seeing a character like this in every pub, i felt that i had to "celebrate" the tradional Irish barfly :o))

great painting with character, looks like a good old fashioned pub, can see myself sat there drinking a single malt.

Artist Reply: Thanks a mill for the kind comments Aaron....and you obviously have good taste..........I cannot abide Guinness and much prefer a good whisky :o))
