For the life of me, I can't recall the name of the artist from Bundaberg, who specialised in Australian urban scenes, with kids, from the '50s.

Obviously less important than that other thing that comes from bundaburg ,Ian... but then again too much of that is probably why you cant remember his name... I'm surprised you can remember your own .. :)

Are you thinking of Russell Drysdale. Sir George Russell Drysdale (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Drysdale).

This is one of his called The Cricketers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_cricketers)

No, the fellow I'm trying to remember painted more in the style of d'Arcy Doyle.

Yes, I know who he is. We've got a few of his prints.

Good night now, all!

Bundaberg or not, thanks for posting that. I've always loved The Cricketers.

Ian, the prints we have are 'A4's. They are : "The Masterbuilders", "Pit Stop", "The Engineers", "No Fudging", "Staying For The Refund" and "The Toy Sellers".

"No Fudging" is my favourite, of course! [thumbsupbig]

Ian, they're unframed. Helen has stated that 'You're more then welcome to them'.
