Very expressive!

Impressive, top ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช

your patience for the detailed brick walls and rubble pieces is impressive. Good work

Good job

Nice work TCโœŒ๏ธ

Reminds me of when I was a kid. In the 60s we played on "bomb buildings", a post war cleared area on the other side of our street. I swear it still had the smell of war all over it, a mixture of rubble, wet plaster, tarmac and smoke. I'm enjoying the recent nostalgia theme. Nice work.

Thanks guys, yes TLP i did the same thing as a kid and would go home filthy every night ๐Ÿ˜

๐ŸคฃHey tel, same here, I was a mucky kid too. You will no doubt remember the copious amounts of roof slate fragments, naively I wondered where they all came from. I mention the scenario in my book which possibly nobody will ever read, but its earthy and real and I'm enjoying it. I guess art is similar to writing, you do your best work when you base it on your own life experience. I find these works of yours most inspiring. Keep them coming. Maybe one day there'll be a tel gallery in Salford๐Ÿ˜‰

Thanks TLP for the kind words, as a northern lad growing up in the 60s, bomb sites were a common site usually because of regeneration pulling down the back to back terraced houses which dominated the landscape.
We diden't have much growing up but looking back i had a happy childhood and remember the things we got up to as kids very fondly
