The latest addition to our little gallery and our Christmas present to ourselves, looks superb in the newly decorated lounge and really suits the position. Got it from Bron Gallery in Chester this afternoon. A few details about the artist:-
WILLIAM THORNLEY, R.B.A.British (Exh. 1858-1898)
William Thornley was born in England in the 1800’s. He was a painter of marines. He was a prolific painter of consistently high standards whose attractive views of shipping off the English, French and Dutch Coasts were exhibited widely during his lifetime.
The first question usually raised about William Thornley is the profusion of names which surround this most popular of English 19th Century Marine Painters. The artist's signatures also include Charles Thornley, Hubert Thornley, William Anslow Thornley and variations of Thornberry, his actual family name.
William Thornley exhibited at all of the major London venues including fifty paintings at The Royal Academy and fifty-four paintings at The Royal Society of British Artists. He was given the honor of being named a R.B.A. (Royal Society of British Artists).

Well it's all a bit of a come down back to my humble efforts, still quiet on EBay, with our sale and post strike off I thought it would be busy. I've now done all three long running Turkish transport DVDs from our 1998 visit, I'll update the list shortly plus Fraser our webmaster is updating the site generally and soon I'll be able to change things often myself.
