Artist and Artwork

A while back I asked if anyone had drawings or painting by Hyde artists, Hyde seems to have been blessed with artist. Marjorie Robinson responded and has sent in 6 paintings 3 of which are her own. Enjoy.

By George Wain

Marjorie says - Mr Wain did it specially for me after I had seen a similar one in one of his exhibitions. In the original the fairies were wearing clothes but those in mine are not! Typical of his sense of humour! It used to hang by our phone but my husband found it somewhat distracting during a phone call so I had to move it.

By George Wain

This is a portrait in pastel that he did of my two daughters when they were young.

Owen Traynor

The third is by Owen Traynor, another of George Wain's pupils at Hyde Grammar. It is of Ashford in the Water. We bought it because some of my husband's ancestors are buried in the churchyard there. Owen is a member of the Royal Watercolour Society and well known in the area.

George Wain was Marjorie's art master at the Grammar School, and the 3 following pictures are her own work... thank you Marjorie for sharing these.

Godley Hall Inn Drawing

This is from the book  'OLD GODLEY' by Thomas Middleton.. I can't make out the artist so can't give them credit.. It got me thinking of the artist that Hyde as produced.. More so the drawings and paintings of our Town.. If you have any or copies of any can you send a picture of them in to our email address. I think it would make a neat addition to the blog.

All the best to you all
