I am lucky enough to live in the same village as his daughter and have seen a number of his works, drafts and sketches firsthand. His dexterity blows you away!<br /><br />His Mother (Nell Tenison) and Father (Cyrus Cuneo) were fine artists in their own right. As they say, the apple never falls far from the tree :-)<br /><br />There is a Cuneo Society, which is well supported with members around the world.<br /><br />http://www.cuneosociety.org/SWOPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136872792994711820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-65731574639617142212012-08-12T07:00:58.696-04:002012-08-12T07:00:58.696-04:00Great find Mr. Gurney!!

I gripe at today's speech affectations in the news and such but in 50 years they may well seem charmingly quaint.Nathan Fowkeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07655333943075965232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-35399510277096705042012-08-07T19:22:41.382-04:002012-08-07T19:22:41.382-04:00Richard, thanks for mentioning that.

First thing I do is look for his little mouse, it becomes a game and sometimes you find him with a miniture helmet and rifle. I like his impressionistic style and use of colour.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231743979599886282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-49377259353845769782012-08-07T18:32:25.340-04:002012-08-07T18:32:25.340-04:00Love Cuneo's Railway paintings!

I just finished an oil painting of a train and I have new respect for artists like Cuneo.<br /><br />Trains are a complex maze of pipes and other greeblies... too much to include in a painting. The toughest part was figuring out what details to leave out and still make it readable.<br /><br />I encourage all artists out there to paint something like a train that gets them out of their comfort zone.
