Eric Bottomley's transport gallery

This is Eric Bottomley's second art book, in which he has varied both his transport themes and the mediums in which he works.

The majority of paintings are in oils but also included are gouache (watercolour) and pencil sketches.

However, some paintings are both gouache and pencil, together known as mixed media.

Railways have always been a great passion of Eric's, from trainspotting around the ex-Lancashire and Yorkshire system as a boy, to painting commisions for customers both private and commercial.

From his lowly studio in Wimborne, Dorset, where his painting career took off, Eric never envisaged that one day he would witness his paintings being presented to the Duke of Kent, or that he would meet the Duke of Gloucester (a fellow railway enthusiast).
