I love the idea that someone was going around writing reviews of pub signs, and that these reviews have survived the ravages of time.

@Bloomfield_Art_Restoration 3 месяца назад

That was my favourite fact too!

@Bloomfield_Art_Restoration 3 месяца назад

Just been reading Alice Loxtons book Uproar about the 18th century and the satirical print trade , it seems that images where quite rare on the streets not like today when there are so many, so when a new pub sign was put up it was quite the event to go and look at it and yes some one would review the work! we are bombarded by imagery all day long now, how different it must have been back then.

You're right about the kindness in her face and you're doing a beautiful job bringing that back out again

@Bloomfield_Art_Restoration 3 месяца назад

Thank you I think she does have a really kind face

@Garden366 3 месяца назад

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to meet the artist and see his work. This painting looks very promising and I can’t wait to see how you bring her into the light again!

The cleaning stage is the most marvellous. Thank you.

@stephanieparker1250 25 дней назад

You do brilliant work. Love that this one has local history! ❤

@erueru2014 3 месяца назад

It's weird that he is not better known as an artist, this looks really well painted, those eyes look so alive.

@stephanieparker1250 25 дней назад

Fun tour of your town, thanks for that! I enjoy hearing about the history and seeing the sights.

Hopefully your customer will decide to go for a full restauration!

Manchester looks so lovely despite its overcast weather because I'm currently suffering through a heat wave in Canada.

@TheLostTowerDiaries 3 месяца назад

We think she's beautiful! Cleaning up wonderfully!

@Bloomfield_Art_Restoration 3 месяца назад

Thanks guys! whe is coming along nicely!!

@katherinef4291 Месяц назад

I just found your channel. I like the effort you put into the background of the artist and in this case going to where he was born! Fascinating. Thank you!

Splendid...

@leonieandrewsart4137 3 месяца назад

Looking at the distaff she is spinning from, it is possible that Mrs Calvert is spinning flax/linen rather than wool. It will be interesting to see what type of wheel she is using when you clean the lower right hand side.

@nickimontie 3 месяца назад

Nice way to end the weekend, with one of your videos!

@Bloomfield_Art_Restoration 3 месяца назад

Hope you enjoyed it!

@sariahmarier42 3 месяца назад

Always happy to see you. Nice work as usual.

@Elong. 3 месяца назад

It would be fun to see before & after pics when you’re done with a painting.

@QuivaRPG 3 месяца назад

I know I've said this on Patreon, but I love when you go out and about, looking into the history and the artist.

@Bloomfield_Art_Restoration 3 месяца назад

Thanks , this was from a while ago so apologies for the sound when Im walking! was very blowy!

@kat1368 3 месяца назад

She looks very kind. Too bad you can’t work on it completely, it is a very pretty painting.

@cherryllcooper679 3 месяца назад

Oooh she looks quite promising! Looking forward to seeing what comes of that murky background and her clothing.

@jugheadjones5458 3 месяца назад

Always pleasing to see the dirt and varnish come off. But more pleasing to see what is revealed. Your walking history tour is very interesting. Who knows what lies beneath the modern streets, or is encased in modern buildings. Thank you!

@Bloomfield_Art_Restoration 3 месяца назад

glad you enjoyed it, so much history is just built over, and then lost...Manchester is rapidly developing too hope it holds on to some of its heritage

@jugheadjones5458 3 месяца назад

@@Bloomfield_Art_Restoration I understand. I live where a major civil war battle was fought. Troops were on the subdivision land my house is on. They camped 800 feet from my house. The city keeps building on the battlefield, destroying history. It’s sad. Your artwork reveals so much history and is a way in which those people recorded history, just as death masks have been made for millennia. Your history research adds a lot to your videos. Even if it isn’t the history of my country it is still interesting! By the way, I have metal detected civil war artifacts in my yard and down the street. I found a bullet that had molar impressions in it. Sometimes the troops chewed on the large lead bullets.

@marylouise2169 23 дня назад

I think she is beautiful.

@Jen39x 3 месяца назад

Love that this is a mature woman spinning. It makes it seem more realistic especially with the nose I’m sure she wasn’t happy with it but I feel like it enhances her beauty by being a contrast.

@patriciacooney5705 3 месяца назад

Holloway and seven sisters road are also areas around Islington London just btw. So this painting might have travelled a bit??

@PINTandDALE 3 месяца назад

Interesting subject -- quite a dramatic change once the dirt and yellowed varnish goes away. Sorry it's not getting a full restoration, I'm sure there's lots more you could do for Mrs Calvert. You seem to be soliciting feedback about your videos, so I'll offer this: I'm not uninterested in the walking tour of Manchester, but I think that, rather than filming your 'talking head' moving through the area, show us the area and add the description as a voice over. The audio would be just as interesting, and much more clear without all the extraneous traffic noise and wind noise. Besides, walking down a city street with a phone held up in front of you and chatting away is just asking for a collision. I do enjoy your videos and look forward to more progress with dear Mrs Calvert. Thank you!

@Bloomfield_Art_Restoration 3 месяца назад

Noted, I realised this in editing! lots of wind makes it difficult to hear, Ive been filming today some static shots in an around Manchester and will feature these in a later eposide! thanks for your feedback it definitely helps me plan futire episodes

@Averywandrental 3 месяца назад

I’d love to know more about the pub sign critic? This was a job? And it was published for prosperity? Let’s Bring It Back! 😂

@Bloomfield_Art_Restoration 3 месяца назад

Not sure if it was a job or not but yes could be a spin off RU-vid channel!!

@sharicross547 3 месяца назад

Whenever you say, I think that's it for today, my first reaction is noOoooooo! Love watching you work. The background information on the paintings is very interesting.

@Bloomfield_Art_Restoration 3 месяца назад

Thank you glad your enjoying them
