An Artist's Impression - A Visit from the Guild of Railway Artists
With founding members David Shepherd, Terence Cuneo and Phillip D Hawkins, the Guild of Railway Artists hosts a wealth of talent to this day! Yesterday we were delighted to welcome them to Ropley to capture Manston in all its glory.
We took the opportunity to chat to legendary artist John Austin about the Guild and his work as he was creating his masterpiece. Listen to his inspirational story and watch to the end to see some spectacular results.
The finished paintings will be on display in Alresford goods shed during the spring gala so do come and say hello!

Nice video. Sorry can't make it quite far away but did visit last August and plan to again. Enjoy your gala. Hope all goes well 😉

Loved that, being an arty farty! My art teacher at school was Peter Owen Jones who was a member of the guild. He always had a painting on the go in the studio...you can google and see some of his beautiful work. More of the artists fine work please!

Any chance of a video of the paintings for those of us that can't get to the Mid Hants please? 🙂
What a delightfully leftfield edition. Thanks so much Will. That first 'grubby gala' a few years back certainly set a precedent. "Manston" looks pretty much as I remember the Bulleid pacifics at Waterloo in the dying years of BR(S) steam. I trust total authenticity won't extend to carriage windows!! 🙂

I was going to mention that Manston needs a bit of a wash and brush-up. Personally, I like authenticity, but grubby is too far. But...Not my circus, not my monkeys. Cheers, mate
Should get arty people to do video on how to paint locomotive 🚂 bit like Bob Ross where he talk you though how to paint

David Shepherd spoke about shed visits during the last couple of years of BR steam. One painting he went over was of a Maunsell mogul at (IIRC) Guildford MPD, shortly before it closed. From that I'd reckon you're right about it making for a fascinating clip... or more likely, series of clips, if following a painting's evolution from initial sketches to it's first exhibition (thinking about display conditions there). There are elephants and chimps out there who are far better artists than me though!
