This is a big commission I just finished that’s been a little while in the making. A lot of fun to paint all these different characters together. Thanks, Neil!

They are, of course, Paddington Bear, Dr. John Watson, Rupert Bear, Sherlock Holmes, Thomas the Tank Engine, and Bungo (who is a Womble). The “Motley Hall” sign references another British children’s show, The Ghosts of Motley Hall.

Gouache, of course. 14”x17”, on 140lb Arches Hot Press.

I like the warmth and spontaneity of the piece! and also how very "English" it is

~JoriB Feb 27, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

Thanks! That's sort of everything I was going for.

You've summed up a lot of great literature classics in one scene alone - feels very like the vintage Annual books we get yearly in Great Britain. How many of these characters are you familiar with, though, since your bio states that you're Canadian-based?

Brilliant work overall

All of them except the Wombles! I had no clue who they were when I was commissioned to produce this, so I watched an episode or two of the show and read up on them before making the artwork.
The others I have varying degrees of familiarity with, and Rupert was probably the most present in my childhood.

Thanks for the kind words.
